Stoke City midfielder Tomas Rigo says he signed for the club because of the Potters' ambition to get back to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old Slovakian joined two days before the end of the transfer window, agreeing a four-year deal from Banik Ostrava.
"They introduced to me their plan and I liked it," Rigo told BBC Radio Stoke.
"They want to go back to the Premier League and I hope I can be part of that. They are a club with ambition.
"It was not a difficult decision. I wanted to move forward in my career and develop and Stoke was a a very good option for me.
