"I couldn't wait until everything was done," the PSV youth forward said. "I'm finally here now.
"The decision was very quick, because it's a big stage, a big opportunity for me and my career.
"That was the decision I had to make for myself, and it was the best I am sure."
Daniels scored five goals in 12 games for Cork City, having joined them on a short-term deal after he left Icelandic side Fram.
Manager Stuart Kettlewell says "his qualities are clear to see".
"Djenairo is one that we've been aware of for a while and his qualities are clear to see," he said.
"He's been playing consistently recently and we're confident he will come in and hit the ground running, and that he can add to the quality we already have in the squad."

Chelsea boss Maresca hails 'great triumph' in winning Club World Cup
Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca insisted winning the Club World Cup meant as much as winning the Champions League after his side beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final of the first edition of FIFA's new competition on Sunday. "I have the feeling that this competition is going to be as important, if not more important than, the Champions League," said Maresca after adding the trophy to the UEFA Conference League title his team won in May. Advertisement Maresca only took over at Chelsea a year ago but was previously on the coaching staff under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City when they won the Champions League in 2023. "I was lucky to be on the coaching staff of a team that won the Champions League a few years ago, but this competition features the best teams in the world and I think we can value it on the same level," said the Italian. "It is a great triumph for us and it will allow the Chelsea fans to have that on our shirt for the next four years, so it is a source of pride." Maresca said he instructed his players to go out and take the game to PSG from the off -- they went on to net all three goals in the first half with Cole Palmer netting a brace before Joao Pedro added his name to the scoresheet. Advertisement "The message was to let them understand that we were here to win the game and I think in the first 10 minutes we showed them that," Maresca said. "That set the tone of the game, and then the quality of the players was also important." England international Palmer was named player of the match after bagging a brace and setting up Joao Pedro's goal. The 23-year-old therefore lived up to his superstar billing -- his face has appeared on billboards around New York advertising the tournament, alongside the likes of Real Madrid duo Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. "To score the goals was a great feeling, as was the way the team showed fire out there -- the gaffer's game plan was spot on," he said. Advertisement "I just try to do my job every time I go onto the pitch and hopefully I will continue. "I have seen the billboards in Times Square and outside Madison Square Garden and it is obviously a nice feeling to be alongside those players," he added. as/bb

Igor Tudor Urging Juventus to Sign €40M-Rated Newcastle, Tottenham Target Amid PSG Doubt
Randal Kolo Muani made a solid impression during his loan spell at Juventus last season, finishing with 10 goal contributions in 19 appearances across all competitions. PSG are hoping his time in Turin helped boost his market value ahead of the summer transfer window. The club is reportedly looking to recoup at least half of the €95 million it paid to sign him from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023. Advertisement Kolo Muani struggled to find consistent minutes under Luis Enrique, starting just two games all season. His long-term future remains uncertain and could depend on how things shake out under Juventus' new coaching staff. After Thiago Motta's exit, Igor Tudor took over as manager. Kolo Muani had to work for his place in the lineup early on but earned more regular playing time as the 2024-25 season went on. Juventus kept him through the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, but now that the tournament is over, the French striker will soon have a decision to make about his next step. What's the latest on Randal Kolo Muani leaving PSGAdvertisement Kolo Muani is back at PSG, but that might not last. According to Calciomercato (via Le10Sport), Juventus are looking to bring the French forward back, ideally on a loan deal. The club's manager, Igor Tudor, is reportedly pushing to have the striker available for their summer training camp, scheduled for July 24 at Continassa. According to a previous report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus were hoping to secure another loan for the 26-year-old, and PSG initially seemed open to the idea. However, the Club World Cup semifinalists are now only willing to consider a permanent transfer worth €40 million. Juventus' only remaining hope is that PSG change course and revisit the loan option. In April, GIVEMESPORT reported that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make another move for the French forward if Juventus chooses not to make his loan permanent. Advertisement Meanwhile, TuttoJuve previously revealed that Arsenal and Newcastle United are currently at the front of the pack. Whether it's another loan or a permanent switch, his future could be one of the summer's most talked-about storylines.

PSG Ready to Make Decision on Inter Milan, Man Utd-Linked Target
PSG have a major decision to make—and clubs like Inter Milan and Manchester United are keeping a close eye: Is Gianluigi Donnarumma still their long-term solution in goal? He's under contract through 2026, but interest from Europe's top clubs continues to build. Since arriving from AC Milan in 2021, Donnarumma has delivered in big moments—stepping up in shootouts and making crucial saves—but his time at PSG hasn't been without setbacks. Advertisement A costly mistake against Real Madrid in the 2022 Champions League remains a key talking point and has sparked ongoing questions about his ability to perform under pressure. Now, with PSG finally winning the Champions League, attention has turned to the club's next roster moves. Donnarumma has reclaimed the No. 1 role with a strong stretch of performances, but with his contract winding down, rival clubs are ready to act if PSG hesitate to commit to their goalkeeper long-term. What's the latest on PSG extending Gianluigi Donnarumma? Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Le Parisien reports that a decision on whether Donnarumma will sign a contract extension with PSG is expected soon after the Club World Cup, as the goalkeeper's current deal ends in 2026. Advertisement According to a recent report from ESPN FC, Donnarumma wants to remain at PSG, even with interest from Manchester United and Inter Milan. Recently, Dominique Séverac said on L'Équipe du Soir that Lucas Chevalier would only join PSG if Donnarumma leaves the club. 'Donnarumma? As soon as he doesn't extend his contract, they'll go after another goalkeeper,' Séverac said. 'There's a 90 percent chance it'll be Chevalier. 'Chevalier will never come if Donnarumma is still there—he's not going to compete with him. He'll only come if he's assured of being the first-choice goalkeeper.'
