Clube Brugge Right Back Meunier Confirmed

 

24-hours or so after 'casting doubt' over a move Thomas Meunier, who was also linked to Napoli and West Ham, has completed a move to Paris Saint-Germain from Clube Brugge with the right back signing a four-year deal.

His arrival comes hot on the heels of new PSG boss Unai Emery bringing in Hatem Ben Arfa and Grzegorz Krychowiak to make him his third signing already ahead of the upcoming 2016/17 season.

Meunier was allowed to briefly leave the Belgium squad a few days ago to hold talks with PSG ahead of the quarter-final defeat to Wales with him saying he had 'a lot of doubts' about this move as he was concerned by how much 'playing time' he would be given.

It was made perfectly clear by the 24-year-old he didn't want to be 'warming the bench all season' so he was continuing to access his options....

Having done that he's come to his decision with his conclusion being the Parc des Princes is the right place for him to continue his footballing career telling psg.fr he feels it is an honour to be signed by Les Parisiens with him looking to keep improving his game playing alongside some great players we already have.

'I am very honoured to have been chosen by Paris Saint-Germain to come and bolster a squad that already features a number of great players. I signed for Paris because I have a huge desire to keep improving, experience at the highest level and win titles. I can`t wait to play in the fantastic Parc des Princes stadium.'

Meunier did have options and Nasser Al-Khelaifi is aware of this with him happy to see him opt for PSG where the 'great ambitions' of both parties can be shared.

'I am happy to welcome Thomas Meunier to the Club, a player with an enormous potential. Thomas drew a large interest from many of Europe`s top club resulting from winning the Belgian championship this past season as well as playing with the Belgian national team. He has made the strong choice of joining Paris Saint-Germain, a club with whom he will now share his great ambitions.'
