Maxi Lopez was overjoyed with his move to AC Milan, saying he is eager to repay the club's trust in him.

The Catania-owned striker has joined the Serie A champion on a six-month loan deal after it failed in its efforts to sign Manchester City's Carlos Tevez before.

"I am truly happy," Lopez told Milan Channel. "After all that happened, I am happy to join this great team.

"I want to salute all the fans of this great club and I hope to repay the affection with all my efforts."

The 27-year-old striker, who joined Catania in 2010, scored three goals in 14 appearances for the Sicilian club this season.
