Jozy Altidore determined to prove worth at Toronto

Jozy Altidore has expressed his determination to become an instant hit with the Toronto supporters.

The American international completed his switch to the MLS side on Friday in a swap deal that saw Jermain Defoe join Sunderland.

Having scored just three goals during his 18-month stint in the Premier League, Altidore has insisted that he can still "help the team get better".

"I want to instantly show the fans that I'm here for a reason. I'm here to help the team get better," he told reporters.

"I'm very hungry to succeed. I wouldn't have come here for any other reason."

The 25-year-old scored 15 goals during his previous spell in the MLS with the New York Red Bulls between 2006 and 2008.
