The fans sing my name around the world. When I meet fans, they ask, 'How are you? All good with your family?'

When you get the respect of the fans, it's very hard not to be happy.

I just had a normal African childhood; we played football a lot, but it was always in the street and always without shoes. Boots were very expensive, and when there are seven in your family, and you say you want to buy a pair, your father wants to kill you.

English football is so physical and fast that when you see a space, you have to go into it with all your speed.

I will never forget how I have been treated here by the fans, the club and the owners, and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to finish my career as a Manchester City player.

I am very proud to be African. I want to defend African people, and I want to show to the world that African players can be as good as the Europeans and South Americans.
