The Italian midfielder's arrival from Pescara was not heralded so much because of bigger name signings, but he has been one of the most impressive of the Parisians' numerous acquisitions.

“I chose to go to PSG, and I am very happy,” Verratti told Sky Sport Italia. “I am happy with the choice, it is already bearing fruit.

“I do not think about what could have been. I am in Paris and I am happy to give my best to this club.”
