And the attacker has admitted that he turned down the opportunity to stay in Italy because he didn’t want to disrespect Aurelio Del Laurentiis’ outfit.
“PSG have grown a lot in recent seasons,” he told Fox Sports. “Here, now, there are a lot of players that are at their highest level.
“I would also say that the quality of play is higher here.
“Coming here after the experience of Napoli was a good choice for me.
“Other Italian clubs were interested in me, however, out of respect for the fans I chose to go abroad and not stay in Italy.”
