Kasper Hogh says he had to trust his gut when committing to a Celtic move. A record signing for the club, the 25-year-old arrives with the pedigree of an elite-level striker, having scored 54 goals in 103 games for Norwegians Bodo/Glimt, five of which were in last season's Champions League. Many fans had wanted the club to make a move for Hogh for some time, and Hogh admits he had to go with his intuition before penning a four-year deal.
New signing Aladji Bamba says he is "excited to test" himself in a new league after penning a five-year contract with Newcastle United. The 20-year-old, who only made his professional debut at Monaco last season, has completed a move for a fee which could rise to £34m. "I was very excited when I heard Newcastle were interested in signing me," Bamba said.
Manchester City attacking midfielder Phil Foden says he "can't wait to work with Enzo Maresca again" after penning a new four-year deal to extend his already lengthy stay at Etihad Stadium. The 26-year-old, who is a lifelong Manchester City fan, joined the club's academy set-up as a nine-year-old and made his first-team debut under Pep Guardiola as a 17-year-old. "Committing my future to City means everything to me," Foden said.
"It was a move I knew I wanted to make," says Ipswich Town's newest signing Kayne van Oevelen after penning a five-year deal at Portman Road. The 22-year-old goalkeeper, who joins the Tractor Boys from boyhood club FC Volendam, made 32 appearances and kept three clean sheets in the Eredivisie last season. "As soon as I knew Ipswich were interested, it was a move I knew I wanted to make," van Oevelen said.
