"If I do leave Lille then to progress maybe my destiny will be to got Real Madrid or Arsenal.
"The philosophy and style of Arsenal is excellent for a player like me and Real Madrid's history is unique.
"These clubs are my personal dreams. Me leaving this summer is up to Lille but there are many questions to be answered by my club. But I am ready for the challenge."
