The 25-year-old midfielder is eager to continue developing his tactical awareness, which he views as key to his overall improvement.
“It's been a bit stop and start. But I think the coach is getting me used to the league, the new surroundings, and the challenges. I think it is helping me improve as a player; every day in training they are pushing me to be the best I can be. They are trying to get every little thing out of me, which is good for me.
“I think as the season goes on and as I play more games and have more experience, it should be good,” Dele told Football Fans Tribe.
He mentioned that while his attacking contributions remain crucial, enhancing his defensive abilities is a priority in order to thrive in Serie A's demanding environment.
