Q: You have been introduced to the supporters, what do you think you can bring to the club and what can they bring to you?
A: "A player who smiles a lot, works a lot and likes the game a lot. (And to the team) a little more quality with me as a striker, I hope. I want to have fun because when I take pleasure, I score goals, I love playing football and I hope to smile very often here. (Manchester City), it's a whole other level. The way they approach games and the way they play, it's really what I want to be a part of. (On his areas of improvement) Everything: heading, shooting, moving with the ball, without the ball. Everything."
Q: It's already your fifth club at 21, do you feel the need to register for the long term here?
A: "The important thing is to be myself, to get to know (my partners and the staff), to try to build something together (...) So far, we have taken every step in perfection. I have a good tight team around me, friends at home too, people to push me when I need to and hold me back when I need to be held back. It's a very good balance. t is, in the end, all I want (...) It was a big step to move from my hometown (Bryne, editor's note) to Molde, then to Salzburg, Dortmund and now City. I made these decisions, after thinking about a lot of things. (As for City), I signed for 5 years, we will start with that."
Q: Is winning trophies your main motivation for coming here?
Especially helping City win the Champions League?
A: "Every player wants to win trophies and become better every day to evolve at the highest level. Sometimes I see other players posting photos with trophies and I say to myself + I would like to be in your place, there straight away +. But I have to keep working hard and hopefully I can lift some trophies in the future. (As for the C1), the Champions League is my favorite competition, so I think that answers your question. "
