Main PageI joined Crystal Palace to retain France place Cabaye
The former Newcastle United midfielder completed a €14 million move to Selhurst Park on Friday and hopes his transfer will help him keep his international spot
Yohan Cabaye says he has joined Crystal Palace because he is desperate to retain his place in the Francesquad.
Cabaye sealed his transfer to the Eagles from Paris Saint-Germain on Friday, in a deal Goal understands will be worth around €14 million.
The former Newcastle United midfielder has 38 international caps to his name but has struggled to nail down a place in Laurent Blanc’s starting XI, with his opportunities limited at PSG.
Cabaye says that he has no qualms about moving to Palace from PSG, who regularly feature in the Champions League, and is hopeful that he can force his way into the squad for Euro 2016.
"Sincerely, no, and in any case, this point does not concern me," he told L'Equipe when asked if he could come to regret moving to Selhurst Park. "In England there are no easy matches. You can beat a top-four team one week then lose to a weaker side the next.
"I would like it to have happened differently [at PSG] and I have done all I could to change the situation. But it's like that in a career: there are highs and lows.
"Making the squad for Euro 2016 is my big objective. I want to show Didier Deschamps I'm still here and I'll work as a consequence. I'll do everything to regain the rhythm I had before signing for Paris."
Cabaye is also hopeful of helping the club secure a top-eight finish in the Premier League, and has set his sights on also lifting some silverware.
"There is a desire to build a solid team," he added. "Like I said, the owner wants to make something good, to install the team in the top eight of the Premier Leage.
"If the chance presents itself, why not win one of the national cups? In any case, I'm really keen to return and taste this extraordinary league again."
