"It blows your mind, mate."
Cohen Bramall - Arsenal's unlikely new recruit - is attempting to sum up a whirlwind few weeks.
One minute the 20-year-old is working at a car plant while playing part-time for Hednesford Town in the Northern Premier League, the next he's on the books at a Premier League club.
"I was working in Crewe for Bentley Motors," he tells BBC Sport.
"I was on the production line, filling up cars with gasses, brake fluid, washer fluid and all that. Day in day out, Monday to Friday, 6.30am until 5.15pm.
"I enjoyed it but when you're doing those shifts, then training on Tuesday and Thursday, going from Crewe to Birmingham, and playing on Saturday it's pretty tiring.
