Luciano Vietto thrilled with Villarreal move

Luciano Vietto is excited to have signed for Villarreal.

The striker arrived this week from Racing Club.

"Coming to Europe is a dream come true and one that every player dreams about when he is small," Vietto said on the club's official website.

"It is a big step in my career and I hope to continue growing at this great club. What most motivated me to join Villarreal was I know they had followed me for some time and shown great interest in me. I hope to restore confidence and give much joy to this club."

The 20-year-old will be hoping to force his way into head coach Marcelino Garcia Toral's first-team plans and is confident he can adapt to the rigours of La Liga.

"The first thing I want is to adapt to this new league, which will be different from Argentina, and of course try to challenge for a spot on the team and help as much as I can," the Argentina Under-20 international added.
