"There was concrete interest from Standard Liege, Wigan, Nottingham Forest and FC Twente," he told De Telegraaf.
"But AZ was my first choice from the beginning."
He added: "The team operates in the opposition's half and takes initiative. The transfer is a step up and the game suits me. You do not know how delighted I am."
