The midfielder arrived in January from Inter Milan.

"As soon as I arrived here, not just the manager but everybody at the club has been very nice and it's helped to relax me.

"It is a great club and like a big family - that is very important for a young player that has just arrived. It leaves me at ease to do the thing I love most, which is to play football."
