Plymouth Argyle have introduced new signings striker Emile Mpenza and midfielder Nicholas Marin to Home Park.

Free agent Mpenza, who is a Belgian international becomes the highest-ever paid player at the Pilgrims, after signing a one-year deal.

"Pressure is everywhere in football, so I'm not really bothered by it. What will make me play well is the team," the 30-year-old told BBC Spotlight.

"If we play as a team I will be able to show what I can do every Saturday."

Mpenza added: "I've been at Manchester City where the pressure was even greater, fighting for a place alongside the likes of Darius Vassell and Georgios Samaras."

Right winger Marin joins on a one-year loan deal from French side Lorient.

The 28-year-old told BBC Spotlight: "I start as a complete unknown to the fans and I have everything to prove at Plymouth which is very exciting.

"I'm a fan of English football and have been following it on French television for many years. I have been waiting for an opportunity to come up to play in England."

Both players were set to take part in a behind-closed-doors match at Home Park on Wednesday afternoon.
