Mevlut Erding is delighted to have finally signed for Paris Saint-Germain, bringing to an end protracted negotiations with former club Sochaux for the forward.

The Ligue 1 sides have been in talks over Erding for the past month and finally came to an agreement which enabled the 22-year-old to put pen to paper on a four-year deal at the Parc des Princes today.

"I am very proud to wear this shirt," Erding said. "I've been hoping for it for a month.

"The negotiations were long and today I am very happy to be here, at the Parc des Princes, and to have signed for PSG.

"My ambition is first to continue to progress and also strongly to score goals," he said.

"The stadium, the supporters, the colour of the shirt have all already made me dream since I was younger. It's also for this reason that I am really happy to be here today."

Erding progressed through the ranks at Sochaux before making his debut in 2006 and the Turkey international has been the club's top goalscorer the past two seasons.

Earlier this week, veteran goalkeeper Gregory Coupet signed with PSG from Atletico Madrid to replace Mickael Landreau, who has joined Lille.
