I am a player who likes to play in between the lines and try to break that midfield line, whether it's when I receive a pass or can go and show everyone what I am about.

I was an 18-year-old lad playing in a Scottish League Cup final at Hampden in front of 60,000 against Celtic. That's an experience I will never forget.

Coming on as a sub, it's always different - you never know what the game is going to be like.

Dele Alli is probably the perfect example. He played loads of games for MK Dons at a young age. He got a move and kicked on from there because he had that experience behind him.

I started lower down the leagues with Coventry, so I'd had that taste of first-team action at a young age. I'd already played 40 or 50 games before moving on, and when I got to Norwich, I had to bide my time at the start.

When I represent the Under-21s and sing the national anthem, there is no better feeling.

I've had to make lots of sacrifices, particularly off the pitch.

I play the number ten role but also off the side or deeper.

Me being at Coventry, instead of a big Premier League club, probably helped me develop. You don't get put in the academy system, playing Under-18s and Under-23s.

I got to play first-team men's football from a young age.

The No.10 position is my favourite role.

I was always smaller than the rest coming up at Coventry, and I developed physically more in the later stages.

There is no bigger stage than Old Trafford on the opening day of the season.

All the moves I've made have come after I sat down with my family and my agent and thought what was the best move. I've never rushed into something, never gone anywhere where I wasn't sure 100%.

In the academies, people develop differently, and going into that No 10 role helped me because central midfield was always packed with big, strong boys.

I don't get nervous, because I have confidence in my ability.

I can only speak highly of my time at Norwich. It was brilliant for me. I loved it there, and I think the fans loved me as well. We had a great relationship.

Norwich gave me the platform to perform in the Championship, and between Daniel Farke and Stuart Webber, the manager and director of football, they gave me the opportunity to go out, express myself, and play. That's what led to my England call-up, which was something I'd always dreamed of, so it's something I'll always be grateful to them for.

I've dreamed of playing in the Premier League since I was a young boy.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Aberdeen.

Players judge their careers based on medals and trophies, don't they, and they look back on what they have achieved.

I have always been comfortable in possession, but it is tracking and tackling that I have been working on.

In the Premier League, you don't have one second to breathe - you have to be on it from the first minute. If you lose focus - just for a few seconds - the game will pass you by. It's 100 miles an hour.

I like playing in the later stages of games because there is more space when everybody's legs are tired.

I was still only 19 when I went to Scotland, but it was a good loan move for me to play those extra games.

My ambition is to play in the Premier League, like every player.

The only way you're going to improve is playing games and learning, being a regular week on week.

Derek McInnes gave me that platform to showcase what I can do, so I'm thankful.

Even at 22, you just want a manager to trust you.

I've got a lot of respect for Claude Puel because he brought me to Leicester and to the Premier League and played me in most of the games. I have a lot of respect on that front.

I've loved every second of playing my first season in the Premier League. I feel like I belong here, and this is the level I want to be at for the rest of my career.
