“It is a great pleasure for me to be part of this team,” said the 30-year-old in a Press conference.
“My physical condition is good and I am working to find my match fitness after a small injury. The past is the past and now I look only at my future, which is Cesena.
“I always dreamed of playing in Italy since I was a little kid, as it’s a very tactical League and one with such strong teams. My idol was Vieri.
“My characteristics are those of a centre-forward, so I love receiving crosses and playing for my teammates. This isn’t a new start for me, but the start of a new adventure with Cesena.
“I watched Cesena’s games against Milan and Udinese” data-scaytid=”13″>Udinese, so they really impressed me. My objective is to get back in shape within two weeks of training.”
