I was very excited about the possibility of playing for Spurs and in England. I would like to thank the club for their efforts in trying to sign me.
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.
For me, it is amazing to be in England. To be in London and playing for Spurs will be great for me.
I played for England off the back of playing for Bolton so I would like to thank the fans there for making me feel at home for the four years that I played there.
I'm very proud to represent Nigeria but I would like to say thank you to England for the chance they gave me, it was a difficult decision.
When you are very young and come through at a club, like I did at Sunderland, I suppose people do not expect as much and have not really heard much about you. Whereas, when you sign for a club, the expectations are higher.
For me, playing a chubby or fat superhero was so special because I would go and watch these movies with my friends and would never see anyone like me. I am excited to be that for other kids who look like me.
When I first was trying to play the clubs around Houston to start playing my own songs, songwriters like Eric Taylor and Vince Bell and Townes Van Zandt and Don Sanders were just really encouraging to me and would let me sit in with them during their sets and introduce me to the person that owned and booked the club.
I would not leave Ajax for nothing. But Spurs are a club that I feel good about. They play good football.
When I was about six, I saw my elder siblings play chess and pestered my mother into teaching me. Very soon, I was beating everyone at home, and they thought it would be good to join a club. So my sister would take me to the Tal chess club on Thursdays and weekends.
That's really the thing that got me into playing a lot - getting excited about playing along with my favorite bands like Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
I spent so long at Spurs that it's my club. If I was to become a good coach then that would be by DNA with the way they play and the way they go about things.
Salim and Suleiman Bhai are very good friends and I would like to thank them for being a part of the song 'Habibi', and I would also like to thank the very talented Shreya Goshal Ji for my duet in the song 'Rim Jhim'.
I would have been happy to play in Holland for a big club, but I can see the point of selling me to an English club. It's very simple: Dutch clubs are not going to spend £16m on a player like me.
If I was playing for my local club I'd want to play in exactly the same way as if I was playing for England and, if that ever changes, it's probably time to stop.
What is very exciting with children is they like to play, and they don't care so much about the meanings [of things], and they are just excited to have weird scenes to do or weird things to do, like playing deaf, or playing sick, or swimming in the water.
Everybody is excited about their projects and I'm excited too. It's not like working. It's like playing with your friends. When I was a kid, I'd say to my mother, "Can I go out and play with the kids now?" Now I'm out playing with the kids all day long.
