Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye has said that he has enjoyed his first season at Selhurst Park.

Last summer, the Eagles pulled off what was regarded as a major coup when they signed the French international from Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Cabaye has indicated that making a contribution on the pitch was his main target after half of his appearances at the Ligue 1 champions came from the bench.

The 30-year-old is quoted by Eurosport.co.uk as saying: "For me the most important thing is the pitch. My target was to enjoy my football and to be happy.

"I was at a big club but just to be on the bench for me is frustrating. Yeah, it was easy for me maybe to stay and win some trophies. It is not the same when you don't play."

Cabaye has made 37 starts in all competitions for Palace this season.
