Luc Castaignos pleased with his move to the Portuguese capital

It has been a busy weekend in the transfer market for Sporting, with Luc Castaignos following Bas Dost with a move from the Budesliga to I Liga. The second Dutch forward to sign this weekend, Castaignos has penned a three-year deal, with a buy-out clause of 60,000,000.00€.

"I chose Sporting because it is one of the big clubs in Portugal. I am still young and I think this is the perfect place for me to play and learn. Portuguese football is really good and the players are good, that is why I decided to come here", said Castaignos in his first Alvalade interview, adding a word on his style on the pitch: "I am quick and I score a few goals, but I am not the kind of player who stays in the box. I like to look for space. I won't promise anything, but I will help the team fight for the title."
