Halilhodzic key
PSG coach Vahid Halilhodzic was instrumental in sealing the deal and the 23-year-old anticipates settling in quickly. "It is important to have a coach who speaks my language as it is the first time I have played abroad," he said. "The situation is ideal."
No10 delight
Boskovic was delighted to be allocated PSG's No10 shirt made famous by Safet Susic during his spell with the Paris outfit in the 1980s. "When I was a kid I would watch Susic in the Yugoslavia team and he was truly a great player," he said.
Bréchet deal
French international defender Jérémie Bréchet, meanwhile, is poised to join PSG in the next few days from Olympique Lyonnais on a four-year deal. Halilhodzic's side lie in 13th place in the French First Division four games into the new season.
