PSG wrap up move for Thomas Meunier

In-demand Club Brugge full-back Thomas Meunier has put an end to speculation over his future by joining French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The 24-year-old revealed this week that seven sides had shown an interest in him, including both Crystal Palace and West Ham United.

Meunier has put pen to paper on a four-year contract at the Parc des Princes, having previously stated that there was only a "30% chance" that he would join the mega-rich club.

"I'm very honoured to have been chosen by Paris Saint-Germain to come and strengthen a squad composed of numerous great players," he told the Parisians' official website.

"I'm coming to Paris with a huge desire to continue my progression, to experience some very intense moments and to win titles. And I can't wait to discover a stadium as legendary as the Parc des Princes."

Meunier, who started Belgium's Euro 2016 quarter-final defeat to Wales on Friday night, is PSG's third signing of the summer following the earlier arrivals of Hatem Ben Arfa and Grzegorz Krychowiak.
