"I felt wanted" - Viktor Johansson

Stoke City's first summer signing, Viktor Johansson, said he was relieved to join the Potters and that it is a great club to join.

The Swedish international left Rotherham to sign a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Speaking to BBC Radio Stoke the 25-year-old said he was delighted to move to the bet365 Stadium:

"First of all it's a massive club, I've heard of it since I was a kid. I spoke to my Dad a lot and he agreed with everything. Secondly I felt wanted by the club and that is a massive feeling for me.

"I'm a family man, and when you feel wanted it's a different feeling. I want to come in and help the club be where they want to be."

Talking about where he thinks Stoke City should be, Johansson says the ambitions should be the Premier League:

"I want to be part of something where we aim high, where we feel the pressure from outside and you have to be on top of your game all the time.

"As soon as I heard Stoke I knew this is where I want to go, when you have that gut feeling saying this is your club and that's what I felt."

When asked about how much he is looking forward to starting at his new club he said: "I can't wait to see everyone [the fans] I've heard great things about the home and away support. I can't wait for the season to start and show them what I can do."
