Brown Ideye can't wait to get going at West Bromwich Albion.
The 25 year-old finally arrived at the club's Walsall training base on Friday following the completion of a protracted work permit application.
Ideye has had to wait three weeks to get the green light but will train with his team-mates next week ahead of the new season.
"I've already put what has happened behind me, right now I'm here and it's all about working, working, working," Ideye told the Birmingham Mail.
"I've met the manager and met my new team-mates.
"The rest of the day is all about recovery - some swimming and some running on the treadmill. Then I will join the guys for fitness training."
Earlier in the day Ideye - already christened 'Bobby' on social media - tweeted: "They all welcome me with open hands, I'm so happy to be here and i thank GOD for his blessings."
