Bakaye Traore reveals AC Milan excitement

Bakaye Traore has revealed his joy at joining AC Milan this summer.

The 27-year-old will join the Italian club from Nancy on a three-year deal, and he has admitted that he cannot wait to get started.

"I cannot wait to experience another dimension, another world, and to meet some of the biggest players in the game," Traore told France Football.

"I always thought that to attract prestigious clubs such as Milan, you had to grow up in big clubs and play the European Cup.

"They wanted to get me from Nancy, they came to let me find a home, it's incredible. For me it's like a dream. This is a great honour, I am extremely proud. Every footballer dreams of reaching the highest level. Hopefully I'm not going to disappoint them. I want to show that I'm able to play there."

Traore represented Nancy between 2009 and 2012.
