Paris Saint Germain Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi is convinced that his club are going in the right direction after a huge summer overhaul and a shaky start in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League.

Speaking to the French publication Le Parisien, Al-Khelaifi reflected on a huge summer on the transfer front in which the experienced trio of Sergio Ramos, Neymar and World Cup winner Lionel Messi all left the club. Adding in the hiring of former Spain international boss Luis Enrique and a raft of young talented players including the French trio of Randal Kolo Muani, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé it's been a very busy transfer market for the Parisians.

"We have undergone seismic positive change at the club this summer - more than anyone imagined."

After a major overhaul in playing and coaching staff, PSG have started slowly by their usually high standards. The Parisians are currently in third place in the Ligue 1, and sit second in the Champions League following a 4-1 humbling at the hands of Premier League side Newcastle United. Despite this, Al-Khelaifi is not overreacting and adopting patience to watch this young side develop and grow.

"When you build new foundations, it takes time - you need purpose, patience and perseverance. Not to overreact."

"We've already seen flickers of brilliance after only a few weeks of a new - very young - squad and management team, and we know we are going in the right way."

PSG and Nasser Al-Khelaifi will now be hoping they can show further flickers of brilliance after the international break when they take on Strasbourg and AC Milan in their next two games at the Parc des Princes.
