CSKA's new signing Nikola Iliev gave a media briefing after signing with the Reds.

The press conference began with words from CSKA sports director Kiril Kotev.

"We are extremely happy for the attraction of Nikola, we have been interested for a long time. His desire also helped," noted Kiril Kotev.

"I want to thank you for the warm welcome from the club," were Nikola Iliev's first words.

After that, Nikola Iliev posed officially with the CSKA shirt, on which number 17 was written under his name.

"It was not difficult for me to make the decision. I'm here to grow. The team's ambitions are very high, as are mine. I want to become the champion of Bulgaria," the national player began.

"I have to play men's football and develop. This is a step forward for me. Number 17 was available, but for me the number does not play.”

"To succeed you have to be disciplined and follow your dreams. There were no doubts about my coming to CSKA, they offered me a good offer and I didn't hesitate," said the young footballer.

"At first it will take time to adapt, but I don't think I will have a problem with it."

Nikola Iliev also spoke about his stay at the Italian giants Inter.

"I have a lot of training with the first team of Inter, one of my idols is Lautaro Martinez and I looked to absorb the most from him. I keep in touch with the players of Inter", shared the new addition of CSKA.

"I look forward to every game and I can't wait to get into the game. Competition makes you stronger, I'm here to build and I'm not worried about that,” he concluded.
