"This is a big day for me, for my family and I'm happy to be here," said Bijol. "Maybe the biggest one of my career so far, but I'm ready for it.

"I work for it and that's why I'm here, because it's a big challenge for everyone. It's a big challenge for me, for the club, and we're getting ready for it together.

"I think the club and myself are ready for the Premier League.

"I can promise that I will give everything, that I will give everything in every training as well to be ready for the first game of the season and then just go from there."
