Kike Salas chose happiness at Sevilla after turning down summer offers | OneFootball

Kike Salas is enjoying a fine spell at Sevilla, the academy defender now a centurion and one of the captains, with Luis García Plaza's side beginning the season brightly.

"It is a dream to be here and to play every match in this shirt," he told Diario de Sevilla.

"I think this year was the time to take a step forward, to help the team in areas beyond the pitch. I will always give everything and help as much as I can. I feel very comfortable, I am very happy here and I will keep giving 100 percent."

"We are not setting any targets. The aim is to go game by game. If we keep this level we will collect many points."

"Right now our objective is not to suffer like the last two or three seasons and to be calm as soon as possible. From there, we will see."

"It is a source of huge pride to be at the club of my life and to be captain is the greatest thing. Representing this badge means a lot and I will always give everything for this team and to help my team-mates as much as possible."

"I am very happy to be here. It is true I had offers, but I preferred to stay, to be playing like I am, and to be happy."

"I am focused on giving my best for my club. Representing Spain would be the greatest, but I have to keep giving 100 percent and be ready if the opportunity comes one day."
