De Jong: Sevilla have given me an opportunity to show that I've grown LaLiga Previously played in England, Germany and the Netherlands

Luuk de Jong is looking to prove his maturity after arriving at Sevilla from PSV Eindhoven.

His last venture out of the Eredivisie saw him play for Borussia Monchengladbach and Newcastle United between 2012 and 2014, but he was never able to replicate the form he showed in his homeland.

"I'm 28-years old now with a lot of experience," he said at his unveiling.

"I've played in the Europa League and the Dutch league and I know how to manage pressure in important leagues like the Bundesliga.

"This is an incredible opportunity to show that I've grown up and my experience will be useful for the team."

De Jong enjoyed a fruitful campaign in 2018/19, which he's looking to build upon this coming season.

"It was a very good season at PSV and I felt good there," he said.

"This is an incredible opportunity and an incredible club and I hope to play in important competitions.

"We'll see what I can do, but I hope to be successful."

The fans at the Estadio Sanchez-Pixjuan are known for generating an impressive atmosphere, which is something the forward is well familiar with.

"They have a lot of passion," he said.

"Sevilla fans live for their club. The atmosphere in the stadium is incredible before and during matches.

"It gives you goosebumps, and I'm sure that I'll have sensations that I'll never forget once I play in front of them as my fans."
