"I feel good, I'm happy everything is completed and now I'm looking forward to starting. There has been interest for some time. It has happened towards the end of the market for different reasons. Now, I'm simply happy to be here, I'm ready and I'm really keen," he commented. 

And he added. "It's an incredible club, with an unbelievable history and a great group. I know some of them. They're a great group and I'm really looking forward to playing in front of these fans. It's a new experience in my career and I'm excited."

Finally, he offered his opinion on the new coach, Marcelo Bielsa: "I'm really looking forward to starting under Bielsa. He's well known across the world and everyone learns from him. I'm looking forward to learning every day. They're an exciting team which improves every year. It's brilliant to be here now, I think this team can achieve anything."
