“It wasn’t a PR stunt in any way.
“The thought that went into Romeo is that we have relationships in football, he was looking for places to train in England as he’s an Inter Miami player.
“We said of course but still didn’t look past the process of, is he going to add to that environment as a player?
“Had he come in and been like, ‘I’m a Beckham,’ that would have been a disaster for us. The character has to be correct.
“He’s a humble guy, good work ethic, good mindset, wants to work extra hours on the training ground and sometimes has to be held back from that.”
