Villarreal CF officially presented Tajon Buchanan as their new player on Wednesday. Accompanied by the club’s director of football, Miguel Ángel Tena, the Canadian forward shared his first words as a player in the press room of the Estadio de la Cerámica.
“I’m happy for this new challenge. Everyone has welcomed me very well these first few days. I’ve already been lucky enough to train with the team, so I’m ready and eager to show what I can bring to this club,” said the Yellows new No.9, who was at La Cerámica last Saturday enjoying the win over Real Valladolid.”‘I was impressed by the way the team played.
It’s attacking and I think it’s going to suit my style very well. I’m a player who likes to get forward and create attacking chances,” Buchanan said.
Regarding his arrival at Villarreal CF, the Canadian international said that he has come to the Submarine in search of playing time after not having the desired participation at his club, Inter Milan: “I wanted to play more and Villarreal, who had already been interested in me a year and a half ago, offered me a chance again. This time I didn’t think twice and I decided to come here. Now I have to prove the level I am at. Coming here is an opportunity to do that.”
In his appearance, Buchanan defined himself as a differential player in attack, capable of occupying different positions: “I can play as a winger and full-back, but where I feel most comfortable is in the winger position, where I hope to play here and be able to help the team.”
Finally, the new attacker affirmed that he is ready to play this weekend: “I feel fit. I’m not at 100 per cent yet because that depends on playing.
The decision on whether I play depends on the coach, but if he decides that I should play, I’ll give it my all. I’m ready.”
Miguel Angel Tena: “He’s a player we’ve wanted for a long time“
Villarreal CF’s director of football, Miguel Ángel Tena, accompanied Tajon Buchanan at his official presentation as a new Villarreal CF player. The Yellows boss welcomed him to his new team, acknowledging that the Canadian was a player who had been on Villarreal’s radar for several seasons: “He is a player we were already interested in last year. In the end he left for Inter Milan. Now the opportunity has arisen to join our paths after Ilias Akhomach’s injury. He wanted to come to Villarreal and now we will have him with us.”
Similarly, Tena acknowledged that Villarreal CF were looking for a reinforcement for their right wing: “We needed a player of that profile. He will increase the competition up front with players like Yeremy or Nicolas Pepe. We are sure that he will provide us with great performances here.”
