VÍCTOR ORTA: "THE TWO PLAYERS WERE VERY KEEN TO COME SO THAT MAKES US HAPPY"

Víctor Orta spoke at the official unveiling of Lucien Agoumé and Kelechi Iheanacho. The Sporting Director spoke first about his feelings after the arrival of both players: "I think they come to complete the squad. They were both very keen to come and that makes me happy, when they had other options, even from clubs playing in European competition. The smile was for the personal satisfaction of two players who wanted to be here. They are going to add a lot on and off the pitch and I think they are going to help us a lot".

He also went on to say about the Nigerian striker: "We always worked with several options, there was a moment when Iheanacho showed a lot of willingness to come and that made us speed up. The people around him saw a great chance to succeed in the Spanish league and I'm very happy about that."

When it came to assessing the remainder of the market, he stressed that "we are moving in the market, we have to take advantage of the remaining 20 days to build the best squad possible and compete with all our resources." Although he insisted that he is not talking about particular cases: "I never talk about individual names, but we are working on departures and in the defense we have plan marked out to start the season as well as possible. As for the departures, we are going to try to help all the players so that they can find 

"We have to be active in order to have the best team possible" 

On the players currently at the Olympics he was very happy: "Loic Badé is a Sevilla player, Juanlu too. We took a risky decision to go with Badé to the Olympic Games and I think it was a great decision". He was also questioned about whether the squad is complete, something on which he was very clear: "There is work to do. We've made a lot of progress, but we're still going to try to do things. We have to be active to have the best possible team".

In closing, he also responded about his current satisfaction with the transfer business so far: "I don't work for my own satisfaction, but for the people who trust me. We want to give the coach the best tools so that he has the best possible team for a league that is going to be very competitive."
