Waris likes ‘ambitious’ Trabzonspor

Ghanaian striker Majeed Waris has revealed he chose to sign for Turkish side Trabzonspor because of their ambition.

 Waris, 22, joined on a four-year deal from Russians Spartak Moscow last Monday after rejecting other interested clubs. 

"I'm impressed with the players they have and the management convinced me with their set-up and plans - I'm really excited," Waris told BBC Sport. 

"A good motivation is that the club is challenging for both European and domestic titles." 

Waris spent the second half of last season on loan at French side Valenciennes where he scored nine goals in 16 games, and is relishing the chance to prove himself at a new club in a new country. 

"This is the place I want to be and God willing, I hope to succeed here," he added. 

"I'd like to thank Spartak Moscow for their support, now I am looking forward to the next phase here in Turkey."
