Former Roma winger Marquinho is delighted with his move to Udinese.

Marquinho was snapped up by Udinese this week.

“I spent one year in Saudi Arabia, where they played a completely different football," he said.

“But I wanted to come back to a competitive tournament, in a team with an important structure.

“I found what I was looking for here at Udinese, along with some fellow Brazilians who will help me get integrated.

“I'm still not at 100 per cent physically, I spent a month training with no ball so I'll need some time.

“I can play in various roles, as a winger, central midfielder or defensive mid, but the main thing is that I'm able to do what the Coach tells me so I can help the team."
