Nowadays there are competitions about almost everything. It's unknown if, until now, there has been a championship of most random videos in football to announce signings. But when the first edition takes place, Bologna will reach, at least, the final.

Bologna announced on Thursday the arrival of Scotsman Aaron Hickey. The young 18-year-old LB joins from Hearts and the Italian outfit moved ahead of clubs like Bayern to sign him.

Until here, it seems a normal signing of a promising player. But the club captured the attention even more on social media with this signing when announcing it on their official accounts.

On Twitter, Bologna shared a video in which they pulled a cliché about where Hickey comes from. Nessie. The Loch Ness Monster appears represented by an action figure, in a way that is as shabby as obviously prepared, as a prelude to the appearance of the young defender.

He takes the action figure of Nessie in his hands, that was in a see of special effects, and looks at the camera to say a message: "Believe me. I'm real".
