I accepted to join Genoa on loan because I wanted to prove that I was somebody for Milan” Regarding his position on the pitch, the former Caen man added: “I’m a center forward, I can eventually play as a second striker. If I could choose, I would always play with two forwards next to me. But it’s up to the coach to decide. I thank Gasperini who gave me the chance to play continuously” Finally, a message to his compatriot Paul Pogba: “We know each other very well, and we have played many times together in the youth teams of the national team.
