Monaco midfielder Joao Moutinho has declared that he has settled quickly in the principality, with the playmaker now focused on performing for Claudio Ranieri's side in Ligue 1.

Moutinho has been eased in slowly by Ranieri after a £25m summer move from Porto, making two appearances in their first five league games.

The 27-year-old is adamant that he has no regrets over a surprise switch to Ligue 1, insisting that Monaco's ambition to win silverware will help them maintain a promising start to the season.

He told Ligue 1's official website: "Monaco are a club that are building a big project, they have big ambitions and want to try to win every competition they're in.

"I'm really pleased to be involved in a challenge like this, and I just hope we can keep up our good form and achieve our objectives."

Monaco's five-match unbeaten run will be severely tested this weekend, as Ranieri's side face defending champions Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.
