Seydou Keita excited about Roma move

New AS Roma signing Seydou Keita is excited by the club's ambitions. Keita moves from Valencia on a one-year deal.

"It's a big club with big ambitions," Keita said. "This offer has been on the table for three months so I've had the time to reflect and make a well thought out decision.

"With Barcelona I won a lot of trophies but I'm still hungry to win some more wearing this shirt.

"I will bring my experience, especially in the Champions League, even though there are a lot of strong players like Totti and Gervinho.

"I've already seen Roma play and it seems to me that they are a great team, you don't come second in the League by chance.

"I hope to give my contribution in terms of goals and assists in order to make the fans happy."
