How excited to be here?

I am very excited to be here. I think this club is amazing. The people here are blessing me with love and I hope to connect with people quickly.

What was it about Rangers?

The fans were messaging me on Instagram and they made me confident to move here because I felt their love.

The club with people like Michael Beale made the decision easy for me.

How big of an influence did the manager have?

When I spoke to him he told me about the project and what he wants here for the club.

He told me that he wants me here so that is why I joined here because I love his project, his vision for football.

Tell us about your career?

It has been fast and I needed help with my career going fast. I was thinking that 2019 to now 2023 is only four years.

I have to say thank you to God for my career.

It has been really good for me because the experience has been amazing.

Absolutely. 100 per cent. I think Rangers can help me to improve my career. So 100 per cent.

How are you feeling ahead of the new season?

I feel happy to start the new season. I hope to help the club make something different and maybe if we work together we can win many trophies.
