Sevilla signing Munir El Haddadi: I had no hesitation

Munir El Haddadi is excited about his move to Sevilla.

The former Barcelona striker was presented to local media on Monday.

"It is a very beautiful opportunity, as [Sevilla] are a great club and I hope to succeed here," said the Spanish-Moroccan.

"Since Sevilla showed an interest in me, I had no hesitation in coming here.

"I have been convinced by the trophies, the fans, [the fact] that they are a great club, and that I know I will enjoy football here a lot.

"[My teammates] are very good players and they are at a great level.

"I hope to work and help a lot, and to be there when the coach needs me."

Munir went on to talk about the Blaugrana's decision to drop him from the squad.

"When I arrived from my holidays, I told Barcelona that I didn't want to renew," he added. "[Ernesto Valverde] told me that he was told by those above him to not count on me anymore," he added.

"I was lucky enough to be able to come to Sevilla sooner [than the summer, where he could have arrived for free]."
