The Hammer said in particular that it was very important to focus on performance on the pitch, despite the speculation that is inevitable when playing well: Playing well comes with speculation. I obviously had two or three good seasons with West Ham and the best clubs in the country are watching me. It’s not just for me, I think it’s the same for all players. I think it’s important not to get too carried away with it all. Obviously we had a good season here with West Ham. There were big games to play here, so I think I always focused on that. I feel like if I had thought of other things I would have gotten carried away and it wouldn’t be fair to the team or the manager. »
He also joked regarding what he sees on social media: I can’t help but speculate, even with the numbers we’re talking regarding. I get hit on social media all the time. I can do nothing. Yes, they (his teammates) make me laugh all the time. Obviously, it’s crazy to talk regarding it to be honest, so I just block it all out and do what I do best, which is play football. »
