Marcus Antonsson was overjoyed after officially joining Leeds United today.
When interviewed by Leeds United's official site, Antonsson couldn't hide his delight after putting pen to paper with the Whites.
"It feels fantastic to be here,” Antonsson told leedsunited.com shortly after signing his deal.
"Ever since Leeds came into the picture, it seemed like the perfect choice. I wanted this move as soon as Leeds contacted me.
"Playing in England has been a big dream of mine. Coming to a big club like Leeds is a dream come true and I will work very hard for the team in every game. I will not miss this opportunity."
When asked about what the United supporters can expect from the club’s first signing of the summer, the striker replied: "First of all, I like to score goals. I’m fast inside the box and my big strength is my timing in the box. "I always try to work very hard for the team - I run a lot of metres — but scoring goals is my main thing.”
Head coach Garry Monk added: "It’s great to make that first signing. In terms of how he plays, Marcus is a different striker to what we’ve got already, so that gives us options up front. "He’s done exceptionally well over the last couple of seasons. He scores goals, has great movement and he has the mentality to be able to adapt to this league.
"The club has watched a lot of him, I’ve watched a lot of him and I felt he’d be a good fit for Leeds United. "Marcus will come into the group with some really good strikers in the squad already. It will help them and it will give us options to adapt in different games.”
