"Signing with Paris will mark a new chapter in my career. Joining Paris Saint-Germain Handball will allow me to continue my progression. It's a club that has proved its consistency at the highest level, both nationally and continentally.  I'm looking forward to discovering a new culture, a new organisation and wearing the Red & Blue jersey. I'm also looking forward to meeting the fans, whose fervour I was able to appreciate during the Champions League matches at Coubertin."
