Leeds fans have been buzzing since the announcement that Jean-Kevin Augustin has become the third signing of the January transfer window and it seems that the city's newest resident is just as excited to be here.
Speaking to LUTV, the former AS Monaco loan man explained why he had chosen to join Leeds United.
"First of all for the coach and it's a historical club in England," he said.
"It has a big objective this season to go back to the Premier League. I know it has been 16 years since they were in the Premier League, so of course the project already excited me. I know it's a big club in England, there are lots of fans at every game and they want to go back to the Premier League."
It's not just the club itself that has caught Augustin's eye, he is also a fan of head coach Marcelo Bielsa.
He said: "Everyone knows him in the football world, he's a real big tactician. I didn't have to think long when Leeds wanted me and that he wanted me to come.
"I'm really happy to be here today. I hope to bring my quality to the team. It's an exciting project for the players, for the city and for the fans. I'm going to bring my football while I'm learning with him and helping the team while doing that.
"I've played in different leagues and I've never been in England. I know, whether it be in the Championship or Premier League, I wanted to come here and play here. I'm going to do everything I can to help the team get back to the Premier League.
He moved on to explain what Leeds United fans can explain from him, saying: "They are going to see a player who is always going to leave everything on the pitch, try to score goals and help the team. I want to transmit my passion for football, I really love football."
Speaking to the press ahead of the visit of Millwall on Tuesday night, Bielsa admitted that Millwall clash had come to early for Augustin to be involved but fans will be hoping to catch a glimpse of him during the match against Wigan on Saturday, February 1st.
