In his first press briefing, Aidoo, the central defender best known for his energy and aggressive display, said: “I know Celta is an ambitious club and I’m an ambitious guy [aiming] to achieve a goal. That’s why I chose Celta.”
“To me, people who love football [know] Spanish LaLiga is the best in the world and any footballer who loves that will prefer to play here.
“I’m here to help the team achieve its aim,” he added.
His arrival, now clarified to be on a four-year deal, will see him at Celta until June 2023 but the club have an option of a further year.
