Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday signed French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from Lille for a reported 40 million euros ($46.6 million).

"Paris Saint-Germain are delighted to welcome Lucas Chevalier into our family," club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said on the club's website, which added that the 23-year-old had signed until 2030.

"I'm a kid who is living his dream," Chevalier said.

Chevalier has been a member of several France squads but has yet to win a senior cap.

He shone as Lille reached the last 16 of last season's Champions League, particularly in a 1-0 win at home over Real Madrid and a 3-1 victory away to Atletico Madrid.

PSG, meanwhile, won the Champions League, Ligue 1 and French Cup with Italian star Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal, backed up by Russian Matvey Safonov and Spaniard Arnau Tenas who are still in the squad.

Chevalier is the second goalkeeper the club have signed this summer, after Italian-Brazilian teenager Renato Marin.

Sources close to the club said PSG sporting director Luis Campos had assured Chevalier he would be first-choice goalkeeper.

Chevalier is expected to be available as early as Wednesday when PSG face Tottenham in the European Super Cup in Udine, Italy.
