Sevilla's Kevin Gameiro Believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic Arrival Hurt His PSG Chances
Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined PSG a year after Kevin Gameiro, who says the Swede's arrival forced him to look elsewhere for regular football.
Kevin Gameiro had to move on from Paris Saint-Germain as Zlatan Ibrahimovic's arrival made it difficult for him to feature regularly for the French giants.
Gamiero joined PSG in 2011 off the back of an impressive spell at Lorient, scoring 11 goals in his debut season at the Parc des Princes.
However, the capital club opted to strengthen in an attack the following season by contracting the enigmatic Ibrahimovic in a big-money move from AC Milan.
Although Gameiro produced eight goals as the Swede's understudy, he started just seven of his 25 Ligue 1 appearances and subsequently transferred to Sevilla.
The Frenchman felt he could not compete with Ibrahimovic at PSG but has no regrets about his decision to move on.
"[Ibrahimovic's arrival] certainly did not help," Gameiro told Canal Football Club. "I experienced good and bad times. This is a club that meant a lot to me.
"I regret nothing, but we must move forward and that's why I went to Sevilla.
"In the life of a football there are difficult times. You must be aware, raise your head and keep moving forward."
