After Mason Greenwood's electrifying start to life in France, a teammate has revealed how players have received him in the locker room.
After sealing a £26.7 million (R628 million) move to Olympique Marseille in July, Greenwood has scored five goals and provided one assist in his first three league matches for his new club.

Les Olympiens find themselves second on the Ligue 1 table, with the Englishman's goals being a key part to their good start to the season.
However, the club's purchase of the attacker was met with considerable backlash from some fans, as well as Marseille mayor Benoit Payan, who previously asked the club not to recruit him due to the player's past.
Following his arrest in January 2022, charges of attempted rape, assault, and coercive control against the Englishman were dropped in February last year.
He spent the 2023/24 campaign at Getafe after Manchester United decided that he would relaunch his career away from Old Trafford.
Now, as Greenwood tries to settle to life in France, teammate Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – who is also one of Marseille's new stars – said that he is liked in the dressing room.
"Mason is already showing his stuff with Marseille. He did well. But it's important to keep up the power, the way of working (sic)," the former Tottenham Hotspur star said, per RMC Sport.
"I don't want to say too much about Mason, because he has so many qualities.
"I just want him to continue until the end. Starting to talk about a star or the best player, I don't really like that.
"It's important to stay on the job and for him to continue, because we all know how important he is to us.
"He's a well-liked guy in the locker room. He has to continue to work well and help the team every week.
"If he doesn't score, it doesn't matter, but he has to work well for the team and do things seriously every day."
