Thiago Silva: 'Paris Saint-Germain are one of the great clubs in the world'

Brazilian defender Thiago Silva believes that Paris Saint-Germain are "one of the greatest clubs in the world."

The 27-year-old was officially unveiled as a PSG player only on Friday because of his commitment to Brazil at the London Olympics.

"I started to take a look at Ligue 1 when [sporting director] Leonardo and [coach] Carlo Ancelotti came here and I followed their project with great interest," he said.

"Leaving Milan to come here was not an easy choice to make. Now I am very happy.

"I do believe in the project. I signed for one of the greatest clubs in the world."

PSG will aim to bag their first Ligue 1 victory of the season when they host Bordeaux on Sunday.
