Paris Saint Germain have signed Siaka Tiene from Valenciennes for 1million euros.

French giants also let Sankhare leave on loan

Paris Saint Germain have signed Ivory Coast full-back Siaka Tiene from fellow Ligue 1 club Valenciennes for 1million euros. The 28-year-old has been capped over 50 times for the Elephants and was part of their World Cup squad for this summer's tournament in South Africa. Tiene moved to Valenciennes in 2008 from Saint Etienne and became a regular, making 57 appearances in two seasons at the club. However, PSG have now made their move, whilst letting go of young midfielder Younousse Sankhare on a season-long loan to Ligue 2 outfit Dijon. The 20-year-old fell out of favour with the capital giants, having played 22 matches in the last campaign.
