Brandon Soppy is delighted with his move to Atalanta.

The wing-back has joined La Dea from Udinese in a permanent deal.

Soppy said, "I'm happy, this is a big step in my career, at a high level. I'm in a great club, this motivated me a lot, I've heard that it's a club where you work a lot. I love working a lot, so it's the ideal place.

"I'm someone who likes to joke a lot, but in training I'm very serious. On the pitch I really like to dribble, but also to defend and attack.

"It's a very tactical championship, where you run a lot. It allows you to grow tactically, there is no room for error. A small mistake becomes a goal in Serie A."
