Away from football and the winger has recently released a new single, titled What's Luv? in collaboration with SPKS and MBrown.
"Music has always been a passion of mine, and a way for me to express myself away from football," he recently revealed, as per GOAL.
"Music is a great tool, and I’ve always used it as a productive way to share how I feel. Historically no Premier League player has brought out music with their name and face attached to it, but I like to be different and make a difference.
"Growing up in an area of London that is challenging for some people, I know how hard it can be and I’m grateful to have a platform to try and make a difference.

He added: "Alongside the work we do in the community, I hope that my music is another way of proving that young people do not have to feel they have to fit in just one box. I want them to be encouraged to achieve their dreams, to put their focus into positive things.
"Creating music doesn’t take anything away from my football, it helps me switch off."
