Rooney speaks on Muhamed
Pilgrims boss and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney expressed his delight at the addition, saying:
"Muhamed joining further strengthens our forward line and he will bring different attributes to the squad.
)
He is big, athletic and can run in behind, but is equally as good at holding the ball up and bringing other players into play.”
He has played and scored in the Europa League so comes with good pedigree but is also young and keen to improve. We are looking forward to working with him."
)
Argyle Director of Football Neil Dewsnip also commented on the signing, stating:
"We are really pleased that we have managed to bring Muhamed to the club.
He was highly coveted, with several Europa League clubs keen to secure his signature, but Muhamed really bought into the project here at Argyle and was desperate to play for Wayne.
)
He brings a different profile to our forward line and still has so much potential for growth, which we are really excited about. It is great to get another signing done before pre-season begins and we are all looking forward to getting started."
Tijani rose through the youth ranks of Banik Ostrava in the Czech Republic before impressing during previous loan spells.
The former Flying Eagles star will be hoping to help fire the Pilgrims to Premier League promotion next season.
