“I’m very happy to be here, it’s a dream for me,” Gustavo Scarpa told the club’s official website.

“It’s a new challenge and I can’t wait for it to begin. It’s always been an ambition since I was a little kid to play in Europe, and my dream is to play in the Premier League.

“I’m a technical player but also I’ve developed my game defensively over the past couple of seasons. I’m very dedicated, hard-working and I’m excited to get started now.”

The midfielder will be included in the training camp squad that will travel to Greece to face Atromitos and Olympiacos next week. He will be able to make his Premier League debut only once he is registered.
