The Argentine, who at 22 has already played four seasons in Europe with Monaco and Marseille, said he was inspired by Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina's Angel Di Maria, reports Efe.
Ocampos, who suffered a severe hamstring injury last season at Marseille, stressed that next season will be very important for him to restore confidence.
