At the end of last season, I almost snapped,' he added. 'I called my agent to ask him if staying at Arsenal was a good idea. He comforted me in my choice, even though I know I need to start more often to develop.'

His current season of 2022/2023 has not been his best either, and this can be seen since he has not been able to make many appearances for the games. His inactivity on the football scene has also hurt his prospects internationally for Belgium.

On one occasion, coach Roberto Martinez has left him out of the last couple of squads. He was particularly irked by the ex-Everton boss calling him up in the match and then failing to put him on the field to play.
