“I feel like I’m home now, so it’s good. But I need to do a good season here, to work a lot with my teammates and I want to do my best here,” he said

“It’s not my first time here. I know the teammates, I know the gaffer, I know how the club works here. For me, it’s the best decision. I’m happy, the coach is happy, my teammates are happy. Let’s get to work.”
