Barcelona midfielder Sergi Samper is happy with his loan move to Las Palmas.

Samper has moved to Gran Canaria on a season loan.

"I want to say thanks for the reception," he said. "I am really happy to have this opportunity and I can't wait to begin training with the team. It's a challenge for me to be here.

"I like the pressure, I am ready. Of course Roque Mesa was a key player here. Each player has their own characteristics, though, and I will give my best to help the team."
