Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Lomotey says he is ready to play for his new club Malmo FF.
Lomotey has joined the Swedish giants on a four-year deal from French club Amiens.
The 24-year-old was unveiled by the club but was unable to make his debut against Sundsvall due to work visa issues.
Lomotey was unable to get a work permit to play the game against Sundsvall, which was confirmed by the caoch.
The former Dreams FC midfielder is likely to get his work permit this week and has declared his readiness to play for the club.
“I am ready and I would have hoped to play tomorrow if possible. I have run a whole pre-season with Amiens and feel "fit". If the coach had taken me out, I would have been ready any second, he says to Sydsvenskan.
“Where I grew up, we play Chelsea and it was a few years ago that they faced Malmö FF. I actually liked the way Malmö played, even though it was Chelsea who won the games”, he explained his love for the club.
Lomotey made 55 appearances within two seasons for Amiens scoring two goals.
