Striker Kevin Gameiro has signed for Paris St Germain in a deal rumoured to be worth 11million Euros plus add-ons. The French International was linked with Newcastle Utd, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur prior to signing for PSG on a 4 year deal.
He will start the new season by lining up against his former side Lorient on 6th August as the two sides kick off the 2011/12 season.
Newcastle had allegedly agreed terms with Lorient weeks ago but Gameiro was reluctant to move, at the time he said;
"I want to go to a bigger club than Lorient in France or abroad.
I have always said I am a fan of Spain, this is the football I love. If I go abroad it is to play in the Champions League.
If I stay in France, this would be for the Champions League and maybe also the Europa League."
