This weighs heavily in the decision. I thank all the professionals, because I learned a lot here. The crowd is wonderful and one day I want back and give joy to the nation, "[6] He made his league debut against Sampdoria.[7] In that match, he came as a 67th-minute substitute for Albin Ekdal.[8] He played his second league match against Napoli,[7] where he came as a 90th-minute substitute for Víctor Ibarbo.[9] He made his Coppa Italia debut against Catania[7] coming as a 56th-minute substitute for Brazilian goalscorer Diego Farias.[10] He started for his club for the first time against Modena in the same competition,[7] only to be later substituted by Farias.[11] However it was reported in January 2015, that he was to be sold by his club as he became surplus.[12]
