Andres D'Alessandro has told skysports.com about his delight at his impending move to Portsmouth.
Skysports.com revealed on Monday that Pompey had beaten a host of top European clubs to the signature of the Argentine, who is currently with Wolfsburg.
The details of the transfer have yet to be finalised, but he is expected to join on loan until the end of the season and then will join the club permanently - if Pompey win their battle to avoid relegation.
"I am very excited," D'Alessandro told skysports.com.
"I am very happy to know that I am wanted in England and to play for Portsmouth is a great opportunity.
"I am very pleased that this move is happening.
"I know Harry Redknapp is a great man and I am looking forward to working with him."
D'Alessandro has already agreed personal terms and he will complete a medical on Tuesday morning before sealing his move, providing there are no last minute hitches with final talks between Pompey and Wolfsburg - although no problems are foreseen.
The deal is a major coup for Pompey and will be their ninth of the transfer window, although skysports.com understand that D'Alessandro may not be the last incoming transfer with another striker on the list of potential targets.
