They are the club that have been interested in me and that have showed this interest so I know they believe in me and my football. It’s a club that fans are always supporting. It’s a great club accustomed to victories and with a lot of good stories in football and I’m hoping to get here and add some more.”
“I’m a player who likes to make moves and to play along with the attack, passing as well as scoring. I like dribbling and playing near to the box – that is a strength I have. I’m very confident and excited to come and start to train with the team and be available to the manager. I’ve been playing in Italy for two-and-a-half years and I believe I will adapt with ease here.”
