GUEDES
Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed the £21million signing of Manchester
United target Goncalo Guedes.
Guedes has agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal with the
French giants, while Benfica could benefit to the tune of another £6m if the
winger leaves the Parc des Princes.
It represents the second major piece of business by PSG
during the January window after they snapped up Julian Draxler from Wolfsburg.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi confirmed that the deal for
Guedes had been pushed through despite interest from 'numerous European clubs'.
And the Portugal international, who has regularly been
compared to compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, was delighted to put pen to paper on
a deal with PSG.
'I'm very happy to join such a big club as Paris
Saint-Germain,' Guedes said.
'Playing here with players of a very high standard will
enable me to improve. Paris always play to win trophies, so my aim is to win as
many trophies as possible, and that Paris keep on winning.
'I know my compatriot Pauleta was well loved by Paris
Saint-Germain fans. I hope to do as well as he did, and one day be just as much
loved as him.'
Guedes arrives in Paris having played 68 times for Benfica,
scoring 11 goals and providing 16 assists.
Champions PSG are third in the Ligue 1 table after a
difficult start to the season under manager Unai Emery.
