Sven: "Michael was a great talent when I worked with him at Manchester City. He is a mobile midfielder, who can run, pass, shoot and tackle.
His talent should have seen that he became a regular for England, but injuries have prevented that, which is a shame for him.
However, I am convinced that Michael will be an asset for us this season and will put his injuries behind him.
He has great character and I know that he is going to work hard for us and play well."
