Reading FC: Stam's ambition drew Aluko to Reading FC
The new Royals signing is looking forward to pushing on his career with the Royals.
The 28-year-old Nigeria international moved to the Madejski Stadium on a four-year contract, in a deal believed to be worth about 拢7.5m.
"After I spoke to him [Stam], it was too good an opportunity to turn down," Aluko told 成人快手 Radio Berkshire.
"He spoke really well of the ambition of the club and where the new owners want to take it."
Aluko joined the Royals on 29 August, just over three months after playing against them for Fulham in the Championship play-off semi-finals.
Reading emerged triumphant over two legs but lost to Huddersfield in the final, although Aluko is confident his new side can go one better.
"There's no reason why we can't improve on last year," he said.
"The squad's got more depth and we're more equipped to go all the way but it's a tough league.
"It's a new challenge for me and one that at my stage in my career I'm really looking forward to."
