“The Arsenal interest, it was there. I think it was definitely there. I cannot remember who my agent was at the time, he told the Getting Messi Podcast.

“But not much was fed back to me because I was 18 and concentrating on my job. My Dad wanting it to not affect me or my ego. That was kind of kept away from me.

“The Everton thing, I actually went to the Everton training ground and had a look around and stuff.

“They were interested. I am not sure why it didn't happen but they were interested as well. As a kid, there has always been paper talk and speculation."
