Greek champions land French defender

Greek champions Panathinaikos have completed the signing of Lyon defender Jean-Alain Boumsong. The 30-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the Greek giants after successfully passing a medical on Thursday. Boumsong is looking to adjust to Greek football as quickly as possible and knows his reputation at former clubs counts for nothing. "I have come to Panathinaikos to give my best," he said. "I want first to adjust and play as best I can and when that happens the natural thing for me will be to lead the defence. "I know very well that what I have done in the past and what is on my CV does not count when you come to a new club. "Every day I have to show what I can do and prove myself. I want to thrive here and help the club to thrive as well."
