The former Ajax defender has revealed that the Ligue 1 outfit aims to become a force to be reckoned with in Europe, while expressing his delight to be a part of the club.
Gregory van der Wiel is of the view that Paris Saint-Germain can become a force to be reckoned with in Europe just like Real Madrid, while admitting that he is extremely delighted to be a part of Les Parisiens.
The Dutch right-back, who moved to Parc des Princes on the final day of the recently concluded transfer window from Ajax Amsterdam, has revealed PSG’s ambitions in a recent interview with Algemeen Dagblad.
“Paris Saint-Germain can become as big a club as Real Madrid. They want to make it to the absolute top, win the Ligue 1 title and compete for top honours in Europe”, Van der Wiel was quoted as saying to AD.
The Dutchman, who has thus far represented http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 in 35 matches, went on to express his delight on joining PSG.
“I am very pleased to be part of this project. They are very ambitious and want to win trophies. I was looking for a new challenge and we can achieve something unique here. And it's obviously fantastic to play alongside a star like Zlatan Ibrahimovic”, Van
der Wiel added.
The highly-rated right-back, who played over 100 matches while donning the jersey of De Joden, was reportedly linked with several European clubs including the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Newcastle United before joining PSG.
However, the Dutchman revealed that he only wanted to join a big-city club.
“I really wanted to play for a club in a big city. I have been in Paris for only three days or so, but I can already say that it's quite similar to Amsterdam”, Van der Wiel concluded.
The 24-year-old, who has put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at Parc des Princes until the summer of 2016, could make his official debut for Paris Saint-Germain in the upcoming league encounter against Toulouse on September 13.
Van der Wiel would be keen to start his career in Ligue 1 on a bright note.
