The forward Iliman Ndiaye has given his first interview to Manchester City's official website following his move from Everton.
The Citizens emerged victorious in the race for the 26-year-old Senegal international, beating out competition from Tottenham.
The transfer fee reportedly stands at £65 million, with Ndiaye committing to a five-year deal.
The new arrival shared his thoughts on joining the Etihad, saying:
“It was easy to make the decision about whether I wanted to be at Manchester City or not.”
“You can see the recent history; you want to be part of this project.”
“They talked to me about where we can go and what we can achieve with me in the team, and I was interested from the start.”
“I didn’t want anything else but to join Manchester City.”
“Obviously, you want to be part of this new project. I have seen what they are doing recently and I feel I fit in perfectly.”
“I am super excited to get started. It’s an incredible moment. I worked so hard to get to this point, and I am really delighted and grateful for this opportunity.”
“Wherever you are, you want to win matches and trophies. You have personal goals, but the most important thing is the team goal.”
“When you think about the team, if you work hard, success will come.”
“If you have the mindset to do it for the team and the fans, then the goals will follow naturally.”
