Bournemouth signed Turkey striker Enes Unal on loan from Getafe on deadline day, with an obligation to make the move permanent if certain conditions are met.

He spoke to Radio Solent on making the move to the South Coast: "It's been perfect. It's been a lovely few days. When you come to a new place you have some doubts, you don't know if it's going to take some time, how they are going to receive you but it was just lovely. Everyone welcomed me with open arms and I'm really happy."

Asked about his game and what Cherries fans can expect to see for him, he said: "I just want to show what I am capable of. I can score goals, it was my thing from a young age, I learned and worked on it. I can score some goals that some people would say are difficult but to me it is a natural because I work a lot on it."

Unal, 26, has scored 36 goals in 109 appearances for La Liga's Getafe since joining from Villarreal in 2020.

"I want to give a lot of work to [the] team, be a part of the group," he added.

"I really believe in being a family and a strong unit. This is one of the things I love about football and sport generally. I've always been a physical player.

"I'm not the biggest or the strongest but I have that Turkish blood in me. I just like to push myself and be hungry and push the defenders. It can be difficult at the beginning because there are some big and strong guys but I don't mind it. When I'm on the pitch, I'm not scared and I will give 100% and I will try to create problems. That's what I like to do.

"My only objective for the next three months is just to get going and adapt as much as possible."
