New Paris Saint-Germain signing Layvin Kurzawa is confident he can oust Maxwell from Lauren Blanc's starting line-up and become the club's first-choice left-back.

The France international joined the capital club in a deal reported to be worth around €25 million from Ligue 1 rivals Monaco this week.

And the 22-year-old is confident Parc des Princes is the best venue to continue his development.

"I'll do my best to play. Between Maxwell and me, the best player will start. But I want to have playing time here," Kurzawa told a press conference.
 
"I knew there would be strong competition. I have to be the best, and respect Maxwell, who is a great professional and who I'm sure will help me improve.

"I'm not in danger [of stalling] at PSG. I never thought about looking at any other club. I was always fixed on PSG. To be here is a dream for me."

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi also hinted at the French champions' interest in Fabio Coentrao, admitting the club were in negotiations with Real Madrid for the Portugal international, who will now replace Kurzawa at Monaco after agreeing a loan move to the principality.

"I want to thank the Real Madrid because we were negotiating for a player," Al-Khelaifi said. 

"But Kurzawa was our number one choice.

"He is our last purchase [of the transfer window]. We have a good team. We are ready to achieve our objectives for the season."
