New Roma signing Cengiz Under is “very excited about the possibility of playing in the Champions League” and aims to be a regular starter.

The 20-year-old passed his medical and signed a five-year contract this morning, arriving from Istanbul Basaksehir for €13.4m plus bonuses.

“I'm delighted to be here and very excited about meeting the fans,” the ‘Turkish Paulo Dybala’ told Roma TV.

“I'm a team player with good technique, pace and dribbling ability. I think what I can improve most is the physical side of my game. I've watched lots of leagues and of course one of them is Serie A.

“I'm very excited about the possibility of playing in the Champions League. My previous team, Basaksehir, are involved in the qualifying rounds and I'd love to be able to play them in Europe.”

Cengiz has reportedly been on new Roma director of sport Monchi’s radar for some time.

“I knew about Monchi before and I know he's discovered lots of fantastic players. I'm very happy that he wanted me here.

“My aim is to earn myself a regular starting berth as quickly as possible. I'm very competitive and I want to show people at my new club what I'm all about.

“A message to the fans? Forza Roma! Daje Roma!”
