Trapp targeting trophies and international call-up

After his move to Paris Saint-Germain, Kevin Trapp has revealed his ambitions to win silverware and earn a call up to the Germany national squad.

Trapp's move from Eintracht Frankfurt was announced last week, the goalkeeper agreeing terms on a five-year deal.

"PSG are one of the biggest clubs in the world, I want to win trophies," said Trapp, who made his debut in Sunday's 3-0 friendly win over Wiener SK in Vienna.

"I know that [Salvatore] Sirigu is a great goalkeeper who won titles. I came to improve myself.

"I want to give the best of me to play in the starting XI, it is my goal. I know what I'm capable of and I have to work to get there.

"I am not intimidated by the great players of PSG, I also want to win titles. I do not know if I will be number one, the decision rests with the coach. There's no clause in my contract.

"The style of play of a goalkeeper has changed since Manuel Neuer at the World Cup. The keeper is an outfield player, who must anticipate a lot.

"My goal is to join the national team but Neuer is excellent, everyone knows that."
