Nico Gonzalez is happy with his move to Fiorentina.

The Argentina winger joined Fiorentina from Stuttgart, rejecting a rival offer from Brighton in the process.

"I don't feel pressure, I know that it's a great responsibility to play in this city and for this team," said the 23-year-old Argentina international in his presentation press conference.

“I chose Fiorentina because they've been tracking me for many years and I felt that interest. It's a big club, one of the sides everyone wants to play for. I am happy and can't wait for the start of the season to show what I can do.

“I had proposals from England, but I turned them down, because I knew that I wouldn't have been as happy as I am here.

“I play primarily on the left, but I like to cut inside and go for goal. It makes little difference to me really, playing on the right or left. I played in the Copa America this summer, and that was a dream come true, so I am in good shape."
