The 24-year-old, who scored a hat-trick in Montpellier’s 5-0 friendly win over Lozere on Saturday, has expressed his delight over signing for the Ligue 1 champions
The Frenchman was snapped up by La Paillade from Nice in June for a fee believed to be around 3.25 million Euros, and the former Lyon player has wasted little time in adjusting to life at his new club.
After scoring a hat-trick for his new side, Mounier has shown that he has the ability and nerves to perform for a top-level club. Although it was just a friendly match, stunning outing by the winger has earned him huge praise and the player is touted for
a promising debut season with the reigning French champions.
While talking to reporters after the match against Lozere, Mounier couldn’t hide his pleasure over his superb performance for the Ligue 1 outfit. However, the Frenchman knows that he has to keep working hard in order to earn a place in the starting eleven.
"The staff and the players have given the new lads a very warm welcome. We worked hard during our training camp, it was a huge week and it's great to have capped it off with a win.”
“On a personal level, it is always great to score, but I have to keep on working hard."
Mounier, who was battling relegation last season while playing for Nice, is happy to be playing for the reigning champions. The 24-year-old stated that a move to MHSC is a step-up in his career and he can’t wait to play Champions League football.
“The move has been a real step up. I have spent the last three seasons battling relegation. Now I am at Montpellier who just won the French title, who are looking to defend their title for as long as possible, and who will play in the Champions League."
The former Lyon man was signed by La Paillade in order to replace veteran midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Geoffrey-Dernis-c14535, who left for Brest. If Mounier continues to play like he did in the friendly match against Lozere last Saturday, the Ligue 1 club will surely not miss the
services for their former player.
