"I did not walk for the first four years of my life."
"Everything I do in life I put in the hands of God, my creator."
"He gave me the chance to be where I am today, and He's the one that can take it all away from me. So at the team hotel, I pray before sleeping, and I pray again in the morning."
"I know what it is to have nothing."
"My father worked in currency exchange, and my mother is a businesswoman."
"I want to be part of a club that is aiming to be one of the biggest in the world."
"I have never said I would leave Arsenal."
"Money is killing football: people are making their decisions based on money."
"I have a bad reputation in England, and I don't know why. Maybe it's something that has just followed me. But one thing I always say is that 90% of the people I've played with would say I'm an amazing guy, a great teammate. Other people, those who work on the gate at every stadium I've played at, will tell you I am a humble guy and a nice person."
"My father always told me to be myself and say what you think is the right thing; sometimes you pay the consequences, but it means tomorrow will be a happy day for you."
"I was born in a house without a light or a toilet, so why would I forget who I am or where I come from?"
"I'll never be too big for anything."
"I never regret making a decision."
"If I regret leaving City, I'd regret leaving Madrid, I would regret Arsenal, and I would regret maybe even Metz, where I started off. So I have no regrets in life; life is too short to start regretting things."
"It's football - fans are passionate about it, and sometimes it's difficult for players to take, but we are good men, and we all make mistakes, and we are footballers."
"You need to feel loved, and that is what I feel at City."
"Harry Redknapp is a fantastic manager. He knows how to talk to players. You need that belief from your own manager. He tells you just to go out there and do your thing. That is what Harry has got more than anyone else."
"It is always nice to have a message from Jose Mourinho."
"When I signed for Real Madrid, I knew it was a big club, but only when you're inside do you realise the magnitude of this team."
"With Mourinho, I learned a lot."
"It's a special club, and everybody opened their arms to me from the first day. The fans and my team-mates treated me wonderfully since the day I arrived, and that warmth has made a madridista. Whatever happens, Real Madrid will always be in my heart."
"It bothers me to think I may never put on a Real Madrid shirt again. Madrid is the best thing that's ever happened to me in my life."
"I had some great experiences in England in clubs who are among the best in the country. I was happy there - my family, too. The only error that I made was to sign for Crystal Palace in January 2016."
"As a striker, most of the time you have three chances."
"As a striker sometimes you miss, and sometimes you score."
