Thomas Meunier revealed he rejected a deadline-day move to Chelsea in order to stay and fight for his place at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Belgium full-back faced stiff competition from Serge Aurier during his debut campaign at the Parc des Princes and, although the Ivorian has since moved to Tottenham, the arrival of Dani Alves from Juventus in the close-season has not made his task of cementing a starting berth any easier.
Speaking to Eleven Sports, Meunier explained: "I was expecting PSG to sign another right-back, but didn't foresee them getting Dani Alves.
"I didn't know what to think. Was I going to remain on the subs' bench all the time?
"I could have left for Chelsea on the final day of the transfer window. But I didn't want to join them.
"I am happy at PSG and I don't want to leave. I want to become their first-choice right back between now and the end of the season.
"Professionally, things could not be better for me. I am free from injury, and I am playing for arguably the best team in the world right now."
