"He's had plenty of opportunities to go to clubs, but he's decided we are the right one for him. We're very privileged in that respect.

"Now we have to try and develop him by giving him games at first-team level.

"What he has got is great pace and an eye for goal. He can be a very exciting acquisition for us."
