Former Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite has revealed he is happy with his move to Espanyol.

Speaking with Cataluyna Radio, Braithwaite urged people not to believe all that has been said about him on the media.

He said; “People don’t know everything, they read the press and it’s not true what was said. It’s the past and now I’m happy.”

He added: “I have a lot of positive things about Barcelona in my head, now I’m here, where I want to be.”

The Dane added that the offer from Espanyol “came at the perfect time” and that staying in Barcelona was a decisive factor: “My family likes it a lot and it’s important to continue living here.”

Braithwaite reserved massive praise for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele.

Braithwaite claimed that Dembele “makes more of a difference than Robert Lewandowski”, although he did admit that the Pole international “scores a lot of goals”.

He also said: “I’m happy for him, he’s a great professional. I wish him all the luck to have a very good season, but now I’m here to win at Espanyol.”

As for Dembele, Braithwaite admitted that he’s yet to see a player like the Frenchman.

He said: “Ousmane is a very good chap, I like him a lot, he has enormous talent, I’ve never seen anyone like that. Messi is something else, but I’ve never seen anyone like Ousmane.”
