Signing for Elche: “I am happy to be part of the Elche family. First of all, I would like to thank the club, management and teammates for this initial process, for how they have received me.

State of form: “I feel good right now. Today I have completed the entire training session with the team. Communication with the coaching staff and the staff will be key to knowing if I will play against Sevilla on Friday or the next against Rayo, in the next home game “.

First impression: “We studied the option of being part of a club like Elche. When I entered the locker room I breathed in the feeling of family and that everyone leans towards the same side, helping each other with good weather and going above and beyond to benefit the team. That’s how we enjoyed it against Alavés from the start and because of how we started from the beginning. I’m happy and proud to be part of this club”.

Single goal: “The personal goals that I have will be achieved if those of the club are fulfilled. That is the side I come from, to add to the team and not to focus on the individual. It would be a mistake on my part to look only for myself. playing and going out onto the pitch I will try to do it in the best way to win, like against Alavés: and if we can overcome the image, much better”.

Reunion with Boyé: “We shared time together at AEK in Athens and we had a good year, with a good relationship between us above all things. I am happy for his present, he is a great player. For those of us who have to play up front to defend to the club, we will do it in the best way. If it is together with Lucas or with another, happy to take advantage of our qualities”.

I return to spain: “We wanted to come and compete in high-level football. We decided with our eyes closed to sign here. To tell people that I am going to come ready to work and give everything so that they can enjoy watching our team’s match”.

Past in Granada: “Years have passed. Inexperience weighed on me and I have been growing, since then, in every way, personally and in football. I am quite satisfied with how I am, capable of facing this challenge and wanting to prove it”.

Couple with Boyé: “I shared an attack with Lucas at AEK. There it was a freer system for the attackers. Being up front, occupying positions where we felt comfortable. We are two forwards to develop united and connected so that the team’s game works. Good communication and camaraderie. If that goes well, it will be good for the team”.

Characteristics: “I appreciate the nice words that the president said, which is a recognition of the work. What I can say to the people, who will then draw their conclusions, is that first I want the team to win. I base myself on working for the group. I want to show my virtues to contribute goals and connect with the team and the victories”.

Boyé’s substitute for the future: “Nobody told me about that possibility. I come to add and not to replace anyone. I am happy with what Lucas is doing and happy for him. We are the ones who are here to work and for Elche to remain in the First Division, with the aim of giving it all here”.

Travel to Seville: “The previous days I felt good and today I have completed the session. I am very happy with how my body has responded and I see myself with options to be able to play if the medical staff, who are taking great care of me, and the technicians allow me. Together We will do the evolution of the week and if I can go to Seville, in a duel of maximum demand, fine; and if not, we will wait for Rayo at home”.
