“We soon realized that he would be a good choice. I didn’t know him at first, but his track records and qualities are great.

“From the moment there was an option to buy him, we had no doubts. The player himself also said that he wanted to stay. I don’t know the details, but I never doubted the purchase option,” Gourcuff told RMC
Sports,” revealed Nantes manager, Christian Gourcuff.
