Atletico Madrid's new signing from Villarreal, Norwegian player Alexander Sorloth, confessed Thursday that he is "happy" to join Atletico Madrid to play with "the best players".
"I like to play with the best players, that's why I wanted to come to Atletico. I feel very good, I'm very happy at this moment in my career and I hope to have many good moments in this stadium with the fans," said the striker, during his official presentation as a player of the Madrid side.
"Atletico is one of the best teams in the world. I told my agent and my family before coming to Spain that I hoped to score enough goals to be able to play for Atletico. I always dreamed of playing here and when the door opened I didn't think twice," he added.
Sorloth said he felt "very good, very happy" about the great moment in his career. "I hope to have a lot of good times in this stadium with the fans," he said.
The newcomer said that the dressing room has made it easy for him from the very first moment. "My team-mates are very good people, I've played against them a few times and now I'm thinking about scoring a lot of goals," he commented, although he didn't want to set himself a target number: “The first thing is to help the team, then they'll come”.
