I'm happy because competition is good for everyone. I can't wait to meet [James], and I can't wait to meet my new teammates. We have to be a strong and united group with people who care for each other and that is the key to success. Together we can make great success.

I'm really looking forward to discovering the environment of the stadium and I can't wait to take to the pitch and hear the sounds of the stadium and hear the support.
