Norway international defender Sondre Langas has spoken for the first time since joining Derby County on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
The 23-year-old centre-back has joined the Rams from Norwegian top-flight side Viking FK - he has reunited with team-mate Lars-Jorgen Salvesen who also joined from the Eliteserien club earlier this month.
Langas caught up with RamsTV after completing the move to Pride Park Stadium on Saturday evening.
On the move coming together…
It's been really hectic for me. I'm proud to be sitting here now as a Derby player. I'm looking really forward to this year. I heard they were interested, and I talked to Lars-Jorgen Salvesen when he was planning to go to Derby. I was really excited about his chance. When I heard they were interested in me as well, I didn't think twice about coming here.
On speaking to Salvesen ahead of joining…
He spoke about the club. It's a massive club with the fans and the group was really nice to him. I'm looking forward to meeting the squad and getting to know the players and the coach. Salve and I were room-mates at Viking, so it's a fun detail to have him here too.
On wanting to play in England…
It's the only dream I have been thinking about since I was a young kid. It's the biggest thing for a kid from Norway. It's a dream to come true now, so I'm really happy. I feel really fit. I've been training a lot to be ready for it. I was hoping that maybe a move would come. I feel ready to play.
