Responding to a question on Morata, who has been repeatedly linked with a switch to Camp Nou, Valverde said: “I can only say the same thing - that he's a great player, that he's at another team, that we respect that a lot, etc.”

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
