He said: “I think everyone knows Inter is such a huge club here in Italy, and Champions League runners-up.
“I always want success in my career, and to be part of top teams, which is what Inter are, and have been in the past, so I would like to achieve more success here”.

The 19-time Italian top-division champions travel to the capital of Sardinia, Italy to play Cagliari in their second game of the Serie A season.
The Nerazzurri currently sit 6th in the Serie A with 3 points, level on points with teams from 1st to 8th, obviously, due to only one game played in the Serie A this term.
Alexis Sanchez will be looking to complement the attack of Inter Milan, teaming up with Marko Arnautovic, Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martinez, and Eddie Salcedo.
La Beneamata are aiming to wrestle the Serie A title off defending champions Napoli, who currently sit 3rd in the league.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan are looking to make more attacking additions to the club this summer, and they have reportedly made contact with Arsenal regarding signing Folarin Balogun.
Balogun scored 22 goals and provided 3 assists in 39 appearances for French club Stade Reims.
However, it appears AS Monaco have beaten them in the race for the 22-year-old as he is reportedly edging closer to joining the French outfit.
Meanwhile, Alexis Sanchez has made 155 appearances for Chile, scoring 51 goals and providing 41 assists across all competitions.
Supporters of the Nerazzurri would be hoping that he can bring his massive experience and attacking quality to the club.
