Rodriguez: “Can’t wait to play alongside Cassano, Eder, Muriel. I used to watch them on TV”

Alejandro Rodriguez can finally breathe a sigh of relief after completing his move to Sampdoria yesterday. The Spanish forward spent the last week waiting for the transfer to happen and now that he’s in Genoa he can’t wait to link up with his new team-mates, and his fellow strikers in particular.

“Two years ago I was watching Muriel, Eder and Cassano on television. Now I’m here with them – it’s amazing,” he told Samp TV.

The 24-year-old is determined to prove his worth at Sampdoria after joining from Serie B outfit Cesena. “I hope to play well and show people I’m good enough for this team,” he said.
