"I came here to help the team and be important for the team," he told the club's official website.

"It's always been important for me, wherever I go, to do my best for the club and the fans.

"It's exactly the same here. I've been counting the days until I came here for the signing day.

"Finally everything is done now and I can look forward to starting training, seeing the fans and going to the stadium to play games.

"We have some good players this season, and after speaking to the manager, I have a really good feeling about the tactics and the way the team plays."
