Speaking to the official website after the transfer was confirmed, he said : ''I'm looking forward to playing and scoring here at Heracles Almelo. This is a great opportunity for me, it feels like a new adventure.

'' My style of football fits in with Heracles Almelo's philosophy of wanting to play offensive.

''I am happy to be here now and would like to show what I can do.

''In Belgium we would say that I have a lot of desire to start; I am really looking forward to it and am ready.''
