I've always been a city person - London boy - and New York is just incredible. It has what London has but almost more in terms of variety, culture, social life, everything. I just like walking the streets and feeling the energy and the vibe.

Goals never come easy. No one gives you goals.

I always wanted to be a winner, to score goals. There was no massive bravery in terms of my mum passing away and stepping up. I just wanted to score. I know everyone would have given me a pass on it if I hadn't taken it. But I'd have had the hump with myself if I'd shirked it.

Of course it is going to be difficult for any player to get in the Chelsea side no matter who they are.

Reading with my children is incredibly important to me and a wonderful way to spend time together as a family, exploring magical worlds through books and stories.

Everyone's got unfinished business with Barcelona. They're the greatest team in the world.

In international football, you need pace and you need your players up top to create things out of nothing and run at people.
