Tottenham HotspurThe Q&A section of our popular Diary Room feature running throughout our Asia-Pacific Tour gave us a little insight into the players' lives, on and off the pitch.
We lined-up five pots of questions, 10 questions in each, with subjects ranging from the Tour itself through to 'Life' and 'Pot Luck'.
We'll run their answers here on tottenhamhotspur.com over the next few days - next up, Dejan Kulusevski...
Tour
Who was the first person you called when we landed in Perth?
Deki: “My girlfriend. As soon as I land, I contact my girlfriend and my family.”
Football/pre-season
Can you believe our Premier League opener at Brentford is approaching so quickly?
Deki: “Yes, I can, actually. We spoke about it today, how it’s not that long, but the sooner the better for me. I’m very happy it starts again soon.”
Team-mates
Which player would be fastest over 100 metres?
Deki: “I would say Destiny Udogie. I think he has the speed over a longer run. I think me and him. It’s a lot of metres, so, maybe me, yes.”
Life
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Deki: “A footballer. That’s the only thing I had in mind, nothing else. I did have another job though, and this will sound funny, but I was at McDonald’s for one week! In school, you always have to do work experience. My friend’s father worked at McDonald’s, so we went there... and just ate!”
Pot luck
Describe the way you dance…
Deki: “It’s so bad, I mean, really, really bad, very stiff, no rhythm at all, just pure joy and a big smile!”
