Alex Matos excited after leaving Chelsea on loan

Alex Matos has opened up and revealed that he is very excited after CHELSEA confirmed that the young attacker would be spending the rest of the current season at Oxford United

Matos can play in attacking midfield or either wing and can also play as a striker. It has been reported that Chelsea academy manager Jim Fraser was pushing for the move for Matos because of his plans to build a strong Under-21 squad.

Speaking after signing for the Club, Alex said: “This is the right move for me at this stage in my career. I’m joining a team where I hope I can make a difference and win a lot of games while continuing to improve as a player.

“I have spoken with the gaffer, and I am confident I can help the team and become a better player under his guidance.

“I’m a tenacious player who likes to get up and down the pitch and put a tackle in. Having experienced the Championship last season, I’m really happy to be back in the league as I feel it suits my style.

“My aim is to come in and make an instant impact. It will be massive for us to stay in this league and my ambition is to ensure the team reach that goal. For me, this is the right place to be.”

Oxford United Head Coach, Gary Rowett, said: “Alex has a great pedigree as a player and I was impressed with what he showed last season at Huddersfield.

“There’s a huge hunger in the player to come in and succeed and that’s a mentality that is exciting to work with as Head Coach.

“He will offer something different to us which is important to ensure we have many different options. I’m looking forward to working with him straight away to see how he can enhance the midfield and the team.”
