When we lose the ball, we look to win it back as soon as possible. But you can't do it alone; you have to do it all together.

We speak Turkish at home, and I can speak the language. I have a lot of family there - I try to fly to Turkey once a year when I have holidays.

I need a manager who will tell me to go out and play my own game and enjoy myself.

I played for Arsenal for more than three years, and I had fantastic moments. Maybe they made me one of the best strikers in the world, because under Arsene Wenger, I learned a lot of things - but you have to move on.

I'm full of confidence. I know what I can do, and when I'm not playing, I'm not happy.

When you see me on the pitch, I will always be smiling, always laughing, always playing jokes. I grew up as somebody who was always laughing. In England, people will tell me that I should not laugh, but you cannot stop me from laughing. It's impossible.

There are only a few players who play in the same team all their career. You come from somewhere and go somewhere else.

In Spain, people understand football is a fun game, and enjoyment comes first. After that, business follows.

You know, us in Africa, all what we know, all what we dream about is football. Because when I was young, all what I tried to do, all what I had a chance to watch on TV was football.

There is only so much abuse a man can take until he reaches breaking point.

It hurts when you are at a club you loved, a place where you think you might want to end your career, and things go badly.

When you score 30 goals in a season, you can expect that the following year there will be a little bit more pressure and attention on you.

I cannot do a better job than a journalist. I cannot do a better job than politicians - what I can do is play my football.

All I can say is I am a footballer, and if a club like Milan are interested in me, then I cannot lie to you: I am happy, because it is Milan.

Sometimes you have to forget about playing beautiful football and just make sure you win.

Sometimes you have to be dirty to win some games.

As a footballer, you still have to dream.

Dele Alli is a player with huge potential to be one of the best midfielders in the world.

In life, there are always ups and downs, and I had them at Tottenham.

I enjoyed my time at White Hart Lane, and I can't say thank you enough to the Spurs fans.

My relationship with Pochettino was beautiful. I think we have a very, very good relationship, with man-to-man conversations.

Things haven't always gone right for me in football.

Football is a funny game. Today, you are zero; tomorrow, you are a hero.

I always love the fans.
