00:00David Odogo, welcome to AC Milan. I see pure happiness in your eyes. How does it feel to be here?
00:16Oh, it feels unbelievable. It's such a big day for me and for me and my family. I'm so thankful
00:22that I can sign for such a big club. And yeah, I want to give all the glory to God with him.
00:28Nothing of this would be possible and I'm just so happy, so thankful and so proud that I'm at this club.
00:34Can you tell us how did you react when you got to know that AC Milan was interested in you?
00:40Yesterday, like it was very fast everything on the last day and it was just like unbelievable.
00:46Like I still cannot realize it really what happened in this last 24 hours was very, very much things.
00:54But yes, it was an amazing feeling. Like I'm just so thankful that I can be here and happy to be at this club.
01:01When I now realize that I'm at this club and can play with players like Modric for example,
01:08I would never, one year ago, I would never imagine that I am now on the same team with him.
01:12So this is of course a guy I will look up to. I'm looking up to since I'm young also.
01:18But in total the team is full of top top players and big players.
01:23So I can't wait to learn from them also a lot because I'm still young.
01:27I want to improve my skills and get better and I will have the best opportunities here to learn from these top players.
01:35How would you describe yourself? Like, you know, the skills you have on the pitch, what you want to improve and what are your strengths also?
01:42I want to keep clean sheets. I want to protect our goal and I'm aggressive in my duels 1v1.
01:48I'm strong and defending 1v1, all in duels, all in total.
01:52And yeah, I want to improve my game physically and also on the ball. I want to get better, of course.
02:00But I also want to improve my strength already, so get more better in heading or defensive work.
02:07Let's talk a little bit about idols. Do you have a role model you look up to and maybe also from the AC Milan world?
02:15Back in the days or also now at AC Milan, we're always legends like Nesta, Maldini, Varesi.
02:23I always look up to the best players on my position. I don't have a specific idol, so at the moment also, like Van Dijk,
02:30and I always look up to the best and want to be also one of the best at one time.
02:34Right behind you, we're seeing your new AC Milan jersey with that number, the 27.
02:39When you look at that jersey, what's the first thing that comes to your mind?
02:43When I look at it, it looks very nice, it suits. It looks nice, the number.
02:48So I don't have a really particular reason for the number, but yeah, I think it looks nice.
02:55I was checking on the way here which numbers are free or which numbers would look nice.
03:00And yeah, I think I took a good choice. I like the jersey, I like the construction of the jersey, so I like the number.
03:08I like just 20,000 in the number. I think it's good.
03:11And your new home will be San Siro. How will it be to play there for you?
03:16Yeah, it will be massive, it will be very massive. I wasn't there yet, but I will not be soon there.
03:22But yeah, I see a lot of matches there, like on the TV. I know about the history of the stadium.
03:29I know the big games that I played, was played there or the derbies for example.
03:34And yeah, it's unbelievable to imagine that I will play there. It's also a big responsibility.
03:42But I want to work hard, I want to get better and I want to be a top player there and play a lot of games in the stadium.
03:49David, thanks a lot for this first interview as an AC Milan player.
03:53The last thing I ask you is looking into that camera to leave a message to your new fans.

04:04And yeah, I can't wait to see you all in the San Siro and we want to be successful and I will give everything that I have.
