We all remember the protracted transfer saga of David De Gea to Real Madrid that failed to materialize. And thankful to the event the fans truly are. Now it appears that not only the fans but the players too think very highly for the Spanish goalkeeper.

It was revealed that Juan Mata, David De Gea and Ander Herrera has formed a small Spanish community and are very close with one another. They always stay together and are always ready to speak nice things about one another.

In a recent interview with Marca Ander Herrera has been all praise about the goalkeeper mentioning how he has been inspiring the team and been supporting the team during tense moments. He also revealed the David De Gea is a big fan of his father’s local club Elche. Though there are rumors about Madrid planning a bid again, with their transfer ban it may not be possible.

Herrera quotes from Marca below

“He’s a pure talent. I swear his arms keep getting longer. And he’s such a calm guy! One time, we were ready to go on the pitch at Old Trafford, with 75,000 fans in the stands, and he starts telling me: ‘Today we win, Elche needs to win!’. “

“The guy is obsessed with Elche, where his dad is from. Five minutes before playing in the Theatre of Dreams! Here’s another: we’re about to defend a free-kick, and you can hear him: ‘Don’t worry, I’ll stop it!’. David is a pure talent. I’ve never seen anyone like him. And, also, he’s calm.”
