It is always motivating for a young player when one of the best players in the game praises him. Villarreal forward Arnaut Danjuma has revealed what Cristiano Ronaldo told him after their clash in the Champions League.

Danjuma said on Freshly Grounded YouTube Channel, “There are loads (of heroes) but Cristiano Ronaldo is a childhood dream, he’s always been a hero of mine.”

“In the dressing room in Old Trafford (we swapped shirts) and that’s when I got a little chat with him as well. He looked to me and said ‘very good game, man, keep going’. It’s just stuff like that, the small things that make a big impact.”

Danjuma had earlier said he has unfinished business in the Premier League as he had told Sky Sports, “There’s definitely unfinished business for me in England. The reason why I joined Bournemouth initially was for me to play Premier League football. I think how big the league is and it’s seen as the best league in the world for many of us.”
