Fulham midfielder Shea Charles has joined the Cottagers from Championship side Southampton on a record-breaking fee of £30m, securing his place in the Premier League for the first time.
The move to London was made during the summer transfer window and represents a significant step up in divisional status for the player.
Interviewed by BBC Sport NI ahead of the upcoming four-game Nations League campaign, Charles presents a laid-back yet focused image.
He expressed a desire to play a key role in assisting a young Northern Ireland squad to build upon its recent achievements.
Despite being recognised as the most expensive footballer ever to represent his country, Charles stated he does not really think about the price tag associated with his transfer.
When asked about the weight of expectation that comes with such a record-breaking fee, he replied that it is really cool to be number one.
The midfielder remains keen to continue developing the Northern Ireland side under current management.
