Over 8,000 fans made it to the Mestalla yesterday to welcome new signing Enzo Perez to Valencia.

Perez has joined Valencia in a €25 million deal from Benfica.

"First of all, I would like to thank everybody who has come out for the presentation. I have the greatest expectations of making a good start here. I would like to thank the club and Peter Lim for the confidence they have placed in me and for maintaining that belief in the six months since we first looked at my coming here. I hope that this new project at Valencia CF grows, and that 2015 will be a happy year for us all."

He gave the reason why he would be taking the number 15.

"My son was born on the 15th, and the season he was born I won a cup. I hope that the number 15 also brings many more trophies to Valencia."
