olton loan signing Rodrigo Moreno says he wants to repay the desire shown by manager Owen Coyle to bring him to the club.[LNB] Moreno made his switch to the Reebok on transfer deadline day, completing a season-long move from Benfica despite recently penning a five-year deal in Portugal.[LNB]Coyle is understood to have tracked the 19-year-old throughout the summer while he was at Real Madrid before seeing him move across the Iberian border as bait in Angel Di Maria's move to the Bernabeu.[LNB]Coyle eventually captured his man and the striker says he is delighted to be at Wanderers, revealing the hard work of his boss has geared him up for the campaign.[LNB]Moreno told the Manchester Evening News: "I'm very excited to make such a big step in coming to the best league in the world. The manager has known about me for a long time.[LNB]"Because he has been pushing for a transfer to bring me here, then it motivates me a lot. I want to give back to the club all the confidence that they have shown in me.[LNB]"I'm very much impressed with the stadium and the training ground. I already knew that Bolton are well-established and respected in the Premier League. [LNB]"But now I have an even better idea of how big a club this is. I want to thank everyone at the club for helping this transfer become possible."[LNB]Moreno's move to Lancashire sees him link-up with former Madrid team mate Marcos Alonso, who also left Spain in the summer.[LNB]The Brazilian born front man said having his compatriot would help him settle into his new surrounds.[LNB]"I played with Marcos last season," added the former Spain Under 19 international. "He is a great player and a great friend.[LNB]"Hopefully, he will help me adapt to the English way of life because he has been here a month already.[LNB]"I can speak Portuguese and Spanish and I'm already looking forward to learning English because it will help me with the rest of my life."
