"It's not the same like Nice. I like the city. It's a small city but you have everything here. I prefer to be in Newcastle with a lot of fans in the stadium because my job is to play football than live in Nice - good weather but not a lot of people in the stadium. It's amazing. It's not the same - it's what I say always, in France it's really different. If you lose one-zero, they don't go for two, three, four five. If they can lose one-zero, it's one-zero. But here, it's really different because everyone runs everywhere and they want to score again, and again. You see the game against West Ham, we win and have a lot of action but when you look at the game it's 3-2. It's good. Of course, I love to play football. I started very young. It's not only my job, it's my passion. When I do four against four in the street, it's a little bit the same for me. I just want to enjoy and see what happens after.
"I have a lot of opportunities and I'm really happy. When you're a striker like me and you finish a game and you have no opportunities to score, you can be really angry. But when you have opportunities and don't score, you just have to keep going. I can only do that, I can not say I lose this reaction and stop. I know if I walk like this, a lot of things will come quick. I don't care. I care if I don't score and we lose. It's different. If the team wins and I don't score, I'm happy because the most important thing is to win. I don't give a f*** after the game if we win and I don't score. I don't play for myself, if I don't score and the team wins I'm happy. I prefer to play on the left but my best position is number 10 because I'm more free, I can go everywhere. But the left is better for me. I can play everywhere and just enjoy. Sometimes when I play I have this problem a lot of times in France, it's difficult to move when the defender stays and the winger comes back and the midfielder comes. But when you play number 10, you can go everywhere. If I want to go to the middle of the field, the defender can not come with me.
"If Newcastle can be a great club, I can stay - no problem. I want to do everything for Newcastle. Steve said to me the club will do great things and the team will do much better and buy players every year. I think this is good. If they stay like this I don't have to move because I feel good even if it is really cold! It's really good in your head when you are somewhere and you know you can be bigger. I want to play for my national team but I know it's difficult. They won the World Cup, they have a good team and they have great players."Sometimes you have great players like Anthony Martial and Kingsley Coman who don't go. I know I have to work hard and after if I go, I'm happy, but if I don't go I'm happy in Newcastle.
"When I was young, I said to my mother I want to play in the Premier League. Thierry Henry, Arsenal, Robert Pires, every player, I enjoy a lot when I look at the Premier League. My mother said if you want to play there, you have to speak English because if you don't speak English there, it will be more difficult for you. Sometimes when you talk with a lot of players and you look in the papers, the adaptation is difficult. If you can not speak with your partner or you can not speak with the trainer, it's really difficult for them to understand you and this is important to play better. I said to my parent I need to play one against one, and if I cannot speak it's difficult to say. For this, I'm really happy because my mother said I have to learn English when I'm young and I listen because when I'm in school I listened - more than if my mother said to me nothing!
"I just want to say thank you. They let me feel good, if I came to Newcastle and everyone feels like who is this player, where's he from, you can't have the same good feeling. They don't know me, but they watch a lot of games and videos and I can only say thank you. I want to work hard, do everything to score and want to say thank you."
