The pace is unbelievable in the Premier League.
Growing up in Belgium, I played football all of the time, in the garden, on the street.
Obviously the leagues are different. The Premier League is much more competitive than the Dutch league.
I'm not going to say the Dutch league is naive but they all play to win. In the Premier League, you have teams with a different idea.
The interest of a great club like Barcelona is certainly flattering. That is confirmation that I am doing a good job.
Becoming champion is definitely one of the goals I want to achieve.
Six years at Ajax and eight years at Tottenham, that reflects the way I want to be as a footballer, I like stability and that is what Benfica offered me and that was very important for me.
Benfica is a club of the people, with ambition domestically and in Europe and that was important to me, I really want to achieve things and Benfica has the same ambitions that I have.
I don't want to regret anything in my career.
In Champions League home games, you expect to win.
With all strikers, it's just about needing a bit of confidence.
Football is always a very emotional game, and VAR is changing that a bit.
I think Tottenham is in a very good place.
The position as a striker is the hardest one in the Premier League. If you look at some top, top strikers, even they struggle to score goals here.
Everyone is happy to play for Tottenham.
Arsenal wanted me to be a controller in the midfield, an Emmanuel Petit-type.
If I play, even at left-back, I do my best.
I can be quite fiery. I was worse when I was younger but even now, when there is a bad decision from... it doesn't matter who, I sometimes want to scream.
I have never fought in my life but I can be very angry, especially on the pitch.
I had doubts about going to Ajax because I don't like moving.
I learned how to defend myself at the OSB, not physically but with words.
When you start at Ajax and you're six or seven years old, you're in the best team in the league - always. And you have to dominate, at home and away from home. A draw is never enough. A win is never enough.
I'm definitely not a rebel.
I love the environment at Spurs.
I'm addicted - not video games, but board games.
It's easy to reach a certain level with chess, but it's very hard to reach the next level.
I like consistency in defenders.
It's difficult to gel players.
I was never the best player in the teams I played for. I always needed time for development.
Sometimes you have to take a draw.
Ajax want to get as much as they can for me, while Spurs want to pay as little as possible.
I have friends who are Gent fans, and I always drive past their stadium when I go to see my grandmother.
Losing is a tough blow to take.
It took me five years to get my first trophy with Ajax but it feels like you have to win a trophy to win more and then they follow. It's just the belief you can win it.
The Premier League is probably the best in the world so if you have a lot of players who play well there, it's normal that they are going to grow as players.
