WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to reporters, the 24-year-old expressed his joy as he said, "I loved every minute of it. I was always confident that the deal would be done because of how much I wanted to come to the club and how much the club felt like they wanted me so I kind of knew it was going to happen but these things take time. I am so happy that it is finally done."The whole thing really excites me: not just playing for this massive club but living in a different country, a different city, [with] a different language. All these things really excite me and my partner. I need to learn Spanish quickly, and it is something I am looking forward to. The culture is very different from London, the way of life, but I love it. Every single player has been super-friendly. I look forward to building a friendship with all the players."

WHAT CONOR GALLAGHER SAID

The former Chelsea star further revealed how England team-mate Kieran Trippier - who spent three years under Diego Simeone - convinced him to make the move. Trippier was part of the Atletico side that won La Liga in the 2020-21 season.Gallagher added, "We were at the Euros together for a couple of months so I spent a lot of time with him. We spoke a lot about the club and what he thought. He really helped me with my decision. He only had amazing things to say about the club, the manager, the players, the city, the whole thing. He was very complimentary about it, which made it very easy for me. I appreciate his advice."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The player could be next seen in action on Sunday night as Simeone's side take on Girona in their second La Liga fixture of the new season away from home.
