“I knew for me to have a chance of coming straight in and winning a place in the team, I would need to come in and hit the ground running for pre-season. I have people who I’ve regularly used for fitness work back in Birmingham, so I was there every day, training two or three times per day, to make sure I was fit enough and give myself the best possible chance…I will just keep working hard and keep performing to show I deserve a place in the team and hopefully the positive results come along with that quickly,” states Tim Iroegbunam.

“This is just a different style of football. We have to be at the club at 9:30am. Training starts at 11am. We train for a long time. Unai Emery is a real tactical freak. That can make training sessions take a long time, but I prefer it that way. Here we play more on possession. You usually stay on the ball a lot longer. Sean Dyche wanted to see more direct football. Long balls. A lot of second balls. In the national team we also play a bit more on possession and I get the ball more. Suits me a little bit better,” states Onana. [Birmingham Live via HLN]
