It has been three great years; good moments, bad moments, like football is. I'm really proud of the decision I made. Newcastle is home.

Going back to your country and playing for a big team and being able to enjoy playing La Liga would be a good thing for my career.

I believe in career cycles and when one is close to ending you start to plan things. It's the moment for a change.

My idea is to return to Spanish football, I want to play for a big club in La Liga, that would be great for my career.

I like the atmosphere in the Premier League. The teams play attacking football, and for a striker, that is even more attractive.

I started training with Fabricio Itte with my wrestling and high performance; I started spending a lot more time with my head coach Henry Perez and also my grappling coach Alex Prates. Those three are my core team, and they've made hugely important changes and skill enhancements with my game.

Every team deals with obstacles throughout the course of the season, and it's as a unit that they need to be worked through. Injuries are part of the game, just like facing tough teams on the road or having one of your best players get into foul trouble.

Fear can be conquered. I became a better person and a better football player when I learned that lesson.
