Junior Firpo has done an interview with DAZN. I've translated it and will it on here shortly. It's gonna be a long one so I might post the highlights and then put the full thing as a doc at the end. Also waiting for the ENG video to come out just to make my work pointless #lufc@TheSquareBall
Junior to DAZN: [on his recent career] I’m a guy who never kids himself. If I’ve done something well or not I’m going to be the first person to know. I haven’t done a specific evaluation but it’s clear that they haven’t been good years...
"I’m very happy [with the move to Leeds]. It’s the ideal moment to go to, like you say, an historic Premier League club with a great manager and a lot of good football people. I’m very happy and excited for this new chapter."
"I was with Orta having dinner before it all got completed and he’s a really genuine guy, really prepared. He way key to all of this, making sure it all went through. And then there’s Kiko, Pablo - there’s a good few of us [Spanish]! I'm not short of company!"
