Grzegorz Krychowiak has revealed he joined Paris Saint-Germain because their ambition of winning the Champions League matches his own.
The Poland midfielder completed a move to the French capital in early July to reunite with his former Sevilla coach, Unai Emery, who had been unveiled as Laurent Blanc's successor less than a week earlier.
Krychowiak won back-to-back Europa League titles with Emery at Sevilla and is now setting his sights on winning the continent's top competition.
"This is one of the best clubs in Europe, but I knew that before coming here," Krychowiak told Goal.
"PSG is a club that aims to win the Champions League. This is an ambitious club and I think that this is what I am. I am someone as ambitious [as the club] and I want to assert myself here."
Krychowiak is playing in Ligue 1 for the second time, having joined Sevilla from Reims, and says his previous experience in France has eased the process of gelling with a new team.
"I am very happy," he added. "The fact that I speak French has helped me tremendously since I arrived. It's not always easy to integrate into a new group, but there is not a language barrier with my team-mates.
"I can play in new stadiums in France. I've been able to see some during Euro 2016. There are a lot of clubs that have changed since I left, so it will be exciting to see."
When asked what he would add to Emery's team, he said: "I bring combativeness, aggression in the right way. I am a player who never gives up, who loves competition. I always want more.
"I think that competition [for places] helps you to improve individually but also collectively. In each team there is big competition so you have to fight for your place, and that's what I'll do."
