James McArthur admits he enjoys playing with Crystal Palace teammate Yohan Cabaye.

The Frenchman has been in fantastic form going into the international break, which has led to a recall to his country for a couple of friendly matches.

"It's great playing with him. For a central midfielder you know there aren't many who can create special moments like he did," McArthur told the Croydon Advertiser.

"Along with Jason Puncheon, players like them have special moments in them. You learn and take a bit from each player you play with. It shows the ambition of this club to land someone like Yohan.

"In the summer we were thinking, 'Yohan Cabaye? Are we going to be able to sign him?'

"But it's an unbelievable signing and it shows the ambition from up top. We've got that in the changing room throughout the squad."
