Yohan Cabaye looking to kick on after scoring on Crystal Palace debut
Sunday 9 August 2015 14:38, UK
Yohan Cabaye hopes he will be able to build on his goalscoring start in Crystal Palace colours and enjoy a successful first season with the club.
Cabaye joined the Eagles from Paris Saint-Germain last month for £13m and marked his Premier League debut for the club with a late goal in their 3-1 win at Norwich on Saturday.
He was thrilled with the way Palace gelled on the opening day and is backing them to get through a tough run of fixtures over the next month which includes games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City.
"I was happy to get the goal. I wanted to start well because it is a new season with my new team so I think it was the best way to start, especially as last season wasn't simple for me. Now I want to focus on Palace and do my best for the team and for the club," Cabaye said.
"It means a lot to me to be back in the Premier League as I enjoyed my time at Newcastle.
"I have had a fantastic welcome from the club since I arrived and I want to do my best to help them get the best position possible in the league.
"We have to keep working hard and I think we can do better - we have to keep hold of the ball better, but it is the start of the new season and we have plenty of time to play together.
"But we know that we have a tough start and are going to have to be ready next week (against Arsenal)."
