“That is how you get better and learn. It will be massive to play against clubs like Celtic and Rangers, and I want to test myself.

Celtic’s Odsonne Edouard in the Europa League qualifiers means it will be similar to that PSG game as you play a totally different way – it’s just like a final.

“The highlight of my career to date would be my Middlesbrough debut. Having been a fan since I was a young kid meant it was a massive occasion.

“It was hard to leave because I’d been there since I was nine-years-old. But it felt like the right thing to do, and I wanted to get out and play first-team football week in, week out.

“You’ve got to think about your career. So while it was frustrating, it was the right thing to do and it’s paid off now with this move.
