On being asked about how he would fit with the other foreigners, he was very positive. “Chika’s a good guy, very involved. I’ve not met Seito but I’ve heard he’s a good player, delivers good passes and is good with the ball, which is important since I’m a striker. As for Darryl, he’s great and we gel really well. I hope to play alongside him”.
