Burnley midfielder Han-Noah Massengo says that Burnley’s long standing interest in his services was the ley reason as to why he chose to join the Clarets.
Burnley signed the France under-21 international on a four-year- deal last Thursday, who was most recently at Bristol City.
“The interest for me was key,” Massengo told the Burnley Express. “It came early and it was during the whole summer. It was a sign of big interest.
“It’s good for a young player to know someone has a plan for you, wants to develop you and help you to reach your potential. It means a lot.
“I’ve played good football and people here recognised that. They see potential in me and it’s my job now to fulfil that.”
Massengo looking forward to Premier League challenge
Massengo is relishing the chance to play in the Premier League for the first time in his career, saying: “I’m ready, I can’t wait. I just want to get on the pitch and play. The Premier League is big, it’s big in France. I used to watch a lot of the Premier League as well as Ligue 1. At home we always used to follow the games. It’s a cliche but it’s like a dream come true.”
“It’s a good stadium and I liked the atmosphere when I played there. Well, I didn’t like it too much at the time because we were getting beaten up!
“We played against a good team last season. They were impressive. Over 100 points is just crazy.
“I’m just looking forward to seeing what it’s like to train with those players and get into the training ground to get to know everyone.
“I’m just happy, I can’t wait. I’ve tried to stay fit over the summer for when the opportunity was ready to present itself. I’m ready.”
