Nicolas Nkoulou is excited about his move to Watford.
This will be Nkoulou's first experience of English football, after over 200 games in France and 100 games in Italy, a point he is particularly pleased with.
To add to this, the 31-year-old is excited by the opportunity to work with the Hornets' new Head Coach Claudio Ranieri, following the Italian's appointment on Monday.
“I'm very happy to be here," Nkoulou said. “I'm going to discover a new league and club so I'm really excited about what's in store.
“Not long ago I got a call from the director who told me they were interested in signing me and for me to represent the club. I didn't have to think twice because I had a look at the players and the squad.
“The fact they [Watford] have also signed an experienced manager, who can make me improve so much, made the decision even easier."
Following his time in Italy with Torino, Nkoulou had been without a club for a few months and was waiting for the right place at the right time.
"This is the perfect place to start again," he said.
"After I left Italy I came here to the Premier League - the best league in the world. I didn't really have too much time to think, but I didn't need it.
"When you play at the top level in leagues such as the Italian and French top divisions, arriving in the Premier League can be an objective of yours. During my time here I will try my best."
