Jese: I am no substitute

Jese Rodriguez says he will not accept a long-term role as a substitute at Paris Saint-Germain.

Jese moved to the Ligue 1 champions from Real Madrid last month but his start to life in the French capital was interrupted by appendicitis.

"Cavani is a great player, but I am no substitute," he told Le Parisien.

"We must all fight to hold [a place in the team]. I come here with the desire to play all games, although I know there are great players in Paris.

"I am someone who has character and likes things to [progress] quickly.

"[It is] up to me to prove that I deserve to play as a starter.

"I will tell you my target when the season is over, but it is beyond 10 goals."

PSG have taken one point from their past two Ligue 1 outings, with coach Unai Emery hoping to correct a faltering start to his reign in Tuesday's Champions League opener Arsenal.
