The forward added: "Usually we don't do meetings at 10.30am, as 10.30 is the report time.

"It's normally a 10.30 meet time and then 12 noon training. Then they said there was a meeting at 10.30am. I was like: 'What?'

"The manager's agent was there at the training ground and I thought: 'Oh, he's renewing his contract'.

"And five minutes before the meeting, Virgil [van Dijk] said: 'Do you know what the meeting is about?' I said no.

"He said: 'The manager is leaving'. I said: 'Really, the manager is leaving? You serious? Why?' He said: 'No idea'.

"Then the manager came in and he just said it and it was weird because no-one knew before. There was nothing in the media.

"He didn't even prepare us for that, he just said it. That was a weird day for us and for the club."
