Victor Valdes has unfinished business in the Premier League after his horrible one-and-a-half-year stint with Manchester United.
The new Middlesbrough goalkeeper became the promoted side's fifth signing of the season and the three-time Champions League winner is looking forward to helping his new team retain Premier League status in their long-awaited return to the top flight.
"I'm feeling good and step by step, day by day. I feel this is a good challenge for me in the Premier League and that’s the main reason I signed here," he told Middlesbrough's official website.
"The other main reason was the manager [Aitor Karanka]. Now I'm looking forward to starting with the first game against Stoke.
"The first thing I’ve seen is it's a big group of good guys. The manager and my team-mates have made it easy for me because he speaks Spanish.
"When you have a good atmosphere around you for the first days it’s easier to feel comfortable on the pitch."
