I’ll do whatever I get told to do.

All I can focus on are the things I can control, like training hard and focusing on next season now. The body is a bit tired, so now it’s just about recovering and looking forward.”He is clearly open to all possibilities, with another loan away from Spurs seemingly the best option for his career this summer.
