Writing my own chapter in such a special story is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I am determined to make the most of it."

He added: "My journey has not always been easy, but I have believed in my ability to play for a team competing for the biggest prizes, and now I am here, feeling very happy. I love playing football with an attacking team that wants to score as many goals as possible, and that is why I know this is the perfect place for me."
