Argentine footballer Angel Di Maria, who recently signed with French champions Paris Saint-Germain, said on Tuesday he is relishing the chance to learn from his new teammates Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani.
The Argentine sealed his switch from Manchester United last week for a fee of around 63 million euros.
The former Real Madrid midfielder cannot wait to experience life alongside the star names at PSG.
"I'm learning every day. With the quality of players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marco Verratti, Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani and all the others, I believe I will learn a lot," Di Maria was quoted as saying PSG's official website on Tuesday.
"During my career, I've always tried to adapt my game to great players around me. Here, they are truly great. The most important thing for me is to try to understand how my team-mates play."
Di Maria admits it could be a challenge to adapt to life in France's top flight but he is determined to deliver trophies to the club.
"Ligue 1 is a championship of a very high level, with very good players. I'll try to adapt as quickly as possible even though I know it won't be easy," he said.
"I know the match against Marseille is very important. I'll do my best for the fans to make them happy and so we can win these matches," Di Maria said.
