Ghana striker Abdul Majeed Waris delighted to have returned to a familiar territory after joining French side Nantes.
Waris, 26, has been shipped out on a season-long loan by Portuguese giants FC Porto.
The Ghana international is familiar with French football having played for Valenciennes and Lorient, before moving to Portugal in January.
And he is thrilled to return to a familiar territory.
"The opportunity to return to a familiar league is exciting and the target is to challenge myself," he told BBC Sport.
"The Porto coach (Sérgio Conceição) wanted me to stay. But I explained to him that I need to play more and make up for lost time, hence my choice to come to Nantes.
"I've only heard positive things about Nantes and I also experienced a great atmosphere when I came here to play with Lorient."
The Ghanaian netted 33 goals in 88 combined appearances for French clubs Valenciennes and Lorient.
