"I am very happy to come to Racing"

Ghana striker Majeed Waris is excited to to return to France after a torrid spell in Portugal with giants Porto.

The 28-year-old headed back to the French top-flight for the fourth stint in his career, this time with Le Racing.

During his unveling to the fans, Waris revealed France was always a priority in making the move.

"I am very happy to come to Racing," Waris said in an interview with the Strasbourg website.

"It was my priority to come back to France,' he added.

"Strasbourg is a club I know. Loic Désiré (the recruitment manager) and Racing have been following me for several months.

"I faced Strasbourg recently with FC Nantes. There is an incredible atmosphere in the stadium and I want to live great moments with the Meinau public.

I hope to bring my qualities to a team which already has very good attackers."

This will mark Waris’ fourth stint in Ligue 1, having played for Valenciennes in 2014, Lorient between 2015 and 2018, and Nantes last term.

He will share the pitch with Ivory Coast’s Lamine Kone, South African forward Lebo Mothiba and Cape Verdean striker Nuno da Costa, as his African teammates.
