When I joined here last year I immediately knew why I d signed here and recognised my own ambitions in the club. I was delighted that the club wanted to extend my stay and they were happy with my performances. To know that PSG need me is the most important thing for me.
Sessegnon follows star teammates Claude Makelele and Guillaume Hoarau in signing contract extensions and club general director Philippe Boindrieux was delighted with securing the midfielder s signature for another season.
We have also signed players such as Grégory Coupet, Mevlut Erding and Christophe Jallet. We ve completed the biggest part of our summer transfer campaign and now will just have to make adjustments to compensate any players leaving the club. The important thing is that the players and coach get to know each other during the pre-season training camps, he said.
