And Hleb has admitted that whilst his first year in England was not the best (citing loneliness), he has grown to love the fast-paced competition for what it is.

The Belarus international said: "I have learned in England that there is still so much to improve.

"I have always dreamed of playing in a great club. Now I have learned that it is not so easy and a lot of work.

"The first year was a killer. I felt very lonely.

"It was clear that the Premier League would be a challenge - but with this pace, I have not expected this.

"The Bundesliga is still a good league, but a season in England feels like two in Germany.

"I will tell you an example: When I was here at the beginning, everything went chop chop, so fast. The pace was madness, even in training.

"I look for the ball in front of me, then where I can play it - when I looked down again the ball was gone.

"The English league is the best league in the world."


Maybe he's not leaving.
