“Even before Luciano put in his transfer request we had enquired about Steve - he was at the top of my list in January to bring in - and I can’t tell you how delighted I am.
“Steve meets all the requirements of the striker we’ve been looking to bring in. For me, he is a player who has everything. He can score goals from anywhere - whether it’s 25 yards or a tap-in - he has pace, and he has all the attributes you want.”
