Hatem Ben Arfa believes he can become one of the best players in the world at Paris Saint-Germain.
Ben Arfa held his introductory media conference on Monday after signing a two-year-contract at the Parc des Princes last Friday.
The former Newcastle United, Marseille and Lyon playmaker - who
scored 18 goals for Nice last season - confirmed upon signing that he
had been close to joining Sevilla.
He will now work with Unai Emery - who left Sevilla to take over as
PSG coach - and revealed it was the ambition of the Ligue 1 champions
that convinced him to move to the French capital.
"It's true that I was very close to signing for Sevilla," Ben Arfa
explained. "But at the last moment I had a discussion with the directors
[of PSG].
"They told me to think hard and that if I wanted to go and win the Champions League I should sign with PSG.
"The vision and ambition [of the club] made me change my mind.
"Winning the Champions League would be a great way of making history with PSG.
"I believe PSG can help me become one of the best players in the world."
