Speaking to bundesliga.com after an incredible first season, he analysed the strengths of Kane and Guirassy, with the Englishman also playing for the first time in Germany last season.

“I think for Harry Kane, it is the goalscoring ability. In the box, he is deadly. When he has a chance in the box, he is deadly. For Guirassy, it is going behind in the box,” he said.

He refused to accept that he is on the level of the two forwards and added that he learns a lot from them as he is still learning to improve.

“I am still young, I am still learning from people like them. So, I think I have a lot to learn when it comes to that area. To be deadly. When I have four or five chances, I should score at least four. I am still learning, I am trying to get to that point,” he said.“I learned a lot from these guys because I watched a lot of them before, but now I am focusing on myself.

There will be pressure on Leverkusen to defend their title. Challenger Bayern Munich appointed Vincent Kompany after parting ways with Thomas Tuchel.
