Fode Ballo-Toure is thrilled to make a move to AC Milan.

The wing-back's switch from AS Monaco was confirmed on Sunday.

“At first, I didn't believe it, for me, it's just incredible. When I heard it was true, I still couldn't believe it until I got to Milan. I am really happy," the former Monaco defender said in an interview with the club's website.

Ballo-Toure played with fellow summer signing Mike Maignan in France.

"I played with him before, we came through together at PSG and then played together at Lille," Ballo-Touré said.

“He is like me. A brother from another mother. He has amazing mental strength, he is so determined for what he wants. He gets what he wants."
