My agent spoke to me about a loan interest from Barcelona. The club wanted a striker with La Liga experience and someone who understands Spanish football.
My idea is to return to Spanish football, I want to play for a big club in La Liga, that would be great for my career.
Having Leo Messi and Barcelona is good for La Liga - it's a real delight.
I like a lot to watch Real Madrid and Barcelona, which are my favourite teams in La Liga.
It is not my decision who plays in La Liga, the Champions League, or the Copa. In any case, I just do the best possible in each training session and in each game to be able to get a chance in La Liga.
Historically, Barcelona win La Liga when they win the Champions League.
Arsenal are a historic club. Arsene Wenger has been here for such a long time, and there is a real level of stability at the club. He knows what he wants to achieve in the coming years. I liked the way he spoke about football and what he thinks of me.
I have always wanted to play at clubs like Barcelona. It's a great club. Any player would be happy for them to show an interest.
It was difficult at Atletico Madrid. It was my first experience in Europe when I went there and La Liga was hard.
You wanted me to do what? That I say no a second time to Barcelona? It was impossible for me. I'm in a crazy club there, next to the best. Every year, the club is semi-finalist or finalist of the Champions League!
I think I won everything I wanted with Real: La Liga, the Champions League, and the Copa Del Rey.
I wanted to get experience of playing a season on loan at a club, to play week in, week out.
I was disappointed not to be able to sign [for Barcelona] last season. When the best club in the world calls you, then it is something that you want to happen. I have signed for the only club who really wanted me. In no moment did I ever think that Inter was a possibility. Rafa valued me and perhaps that is why people started saying that I could go there but this is the only club that pushed to sign me.
I was surprised by how little they knew about me at Barcelona. You can accept that from a supermarket cashier - but not from someone who works in football.
For me, Barcelona are the biggest club in the world, and naturally, I wanted to come here.
My first language is both English and Spanish. My mom was raised in Los Angeles, so with her we spoke English, but my father was born in Cuba, so with him we spoke Spanish.
I really enjoy what I'm doing, I really enjoy my weekends watching football. I watch the kids play football and the Saturday before last I was at four games. Then I ended up watching La Liga on telly. On the Sunday I'm the same and I really enjoy it.
