\u201cWith Olympiacos, I enjoyed a successful career, winning the Conference League, a league title and a cup, while also playing in European competitions and the Champions League.<\/p>\n
\u201cHull City is different because we play in the Premier League. We have to compete against top players, so it is a great challenge for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel ready. I will give everything every day in training to help the team achieve its goals. I am excited to be in England. I wanted to join Hull City because the Premier League is the best league in the world.<\/p>\n
