Posted by: admin : Category: Soccer news
Paris Saint-Germain has signed Ivory Coast defender Siaka Tiene from Valenciennes on a three-year contract.
PSG announced the deal on its website Tuesday but did not give any financial details.
The 28-year-old left back, who spent one year at Valenciennes, becomes PSGs third signing after midfielders Mathieu Bodmer and Nene.
Tiene has played 57 times for Ivory Coast. He played in two matches at this years World Cup, the 0-0 draw with Portugal and the 3-1 loss to Brazil.
PSG coach Antoine Kombouare had been looking for a reliable defender to help shore up a leaky defense that has conceded 10 goals in three straight losses.
Tienes arrival will likely push veteran Sylvain Armand onto the bench.
