Newcastle signing Riviere: My game suits Premier League

Newcastle United signing Emmanuel Riviere is confident his game is well-suited to the Premier League.

Riviere joined Newcastle yesterday from AS Monaco.

"My dream was always to play in the Premier League and so when Newcastle called me, I said yes," the Frenchman told nufcTV.

"I am a striker who is fast and strong, and I score goals. I think my characteristics are good for the Premier League.

"I love space to run and tire out defenders, and I work for the team.

"I want to adapt quickly to the Premier League because it is not Ligue 1. They are very different.

"I will work hard to adapt fast, and to play for Newcastle."
