EXCLUSIVE FIRST INTERVIEW: Langas Beams with Pride, Eager to Kickstart His Journey in Derby County Colours
In an exciting development that has set Derby County fans abuzz, the club’s newest signing Langas has shared his first words as a Ram — and they’re filled with pride, passion, and an eagerness to make an immediate impact.
Speaking to the club’s official media team just hours after putting pen to paper, Langas couldn’t hide his delight. “I’m incredibly proud to be here. Joining a club with such a rich history and passionate supporters is truly an honour,” he said, his eyes lighting up as he stepped onto the training pitch for the first time.
Langas, known for his energy, versatility, and sharp footballing brain, arrives at Pride Park after a standout season that caught the attention of several clubs across Europe. But in the end, he chose Derby County — a decision he says was made with his heart as much as his head.
“I had options, but once Derby came calling, it just felt right. The vision here is ambitious and matches my own hunger to achieve great things. I can’t wait to get started and show the fans what I’m capable of,” Langas added.
Behind the scenes, club officials describe Langas as a “perfect fit” for the squad, citing not only his technical qualities but also his leadership and work ethic. Manager Paul Warne is understood to have played a key role in convincing the player to make the move, outlining a clear plan for his role and future development at the club.
Supporters will be encouraged to hear Langas speak so openly about his readiness to contribute immediately. “I’m not here to just make up the numbers. I want to fight for my place, earn the respect of my teammates, and help push this club to new heights,” he declared confidently.
Since Derby County has been rebuilding with an eye on promotion and long-term stability, Langas’s arrival feels like another statement of intent. The energy around Pride Park is already palpable, and social media has been flooded with welcome messages, new kit mock-ups with his name, and predictions about how he will transform the midfield.
When asked about his first impressions of the city and its fans, Langas didn’t hesitate. “I’ve already felt the warmth of the supporters — even before signing, I received messages wishing me luck. It really means a lot, and I promise to give my all on and off the pitch.”
He also revealed that he has been watching Derby matches in recent weeks to familiarise himself with the team’s style, and is confident he can slot in seamlessly. “I see myself fitting well into the system. I love to press, I love to run, and I want to play expressive football that excites people,” he said with a grin.
