We met in Norway, during a dinner with the royal family. I remember we only talked about football, and shortly afterwards, he invited me to England to watch an Aston Villa match, his team. He convinced me to move there in 2007: for three consecutive seasons, I scored double figures in the Premier League.
In actual fact, how many in the world can you look at and say, right, he's a stick-on to get 15 or 20 a season, and you're young and you're coming through? It just doesn't exist, really. So it's a tough one for them, but they'll keep trying. Given the route they're trying just now if there was one that was closest, it would probably be Igor Thiago.
