"I’m very happy to be here and I’m looking forward to starting with my new team-mates," he said. "We’ll try to win games and to score some goals. I’m a striker so it’s what everyone expects from me. I’ll try to do my best to try to help the team. 

"(Deadline day) was a very long day, so I’m happy to be here. As a striker, it’s exciting to see the ball a lot, to receive a lot of balls to play forward. I’m looking forward to this and I hope I can link up with the boys. 

"It’s three years that I’ve been here (in England) now, so I know the league," he added. "Now I hope I can bring my game to the team and, like I say, try to score a lot of goals. 

"It was always a difficult game. There were some nice games. I know Leicester very well because I used to follow them a lot. I have some friends who played there, it’s a team I like to watch. 

"I know virtually all the players because I like to watch football. I know plenty of the team already."
