Villarreal signing Eric Bailly is delighted with his move from Espanyol.

Bailly was paraded in front of the local media yesterday after being away with the Ivory Coast for the Africa Cup of Nations.

"I was concentrating on the national team when I heard the club was interested in me and I was very happy that such a big club had noticed me. But I was concentrating on the Africa Cup of Nations.

"The most important thing is doing your job well. If you do that the rewards will come and this opportunity has arrived for me."
