“I am really happy to be joining the Club,” Longelo said. “I am hungry to play, make a difference and show the Club and the fans what I can do.
I have known about the Gaffer for a long time and I am excited about playing under him – I think we will work well together".

“Emmanuel is an exciting player who we are really happy to have join us.
He has all the attributes to really succeed at this level and for us as a team.
