Tamas: Loan move
Auxerre defender Gabriel Tamas has joined former club Dinamo Bucharest on loan.
The Romanian international, who attracted interest from Celtic earlier in the year, has returned to his homeland after failing to make the Auxerre side for the opening two matches of the season.
The 24-year-old played for his country in the midweek win over Latvia and his loan has netted €500,000 (£400,000) for the French club with Dinamo having the option to buy him for €4million (£3.2million).
Tamas began his career with Brasov in 1998 and has previously had two stints with Dinamo.
He has also played for Galatasaray, Spartak Moscow and Spanish club Celta Vigo.
