Werder Bremen have announced the signing of defender Lamine Sane from Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.
The 29-year-old has joined for an undisclosed fee after signing a contract at the Weserstadion on Thursday.
I am very pleased that the deal has gone through, Sane told Bremen s official website. I would like to thank Bordeaux for allowing me to make the move and Werder for having faith in me.
I am excited to play in the Bundesliga, because I have followed it for many years. To play in these stadiums and with this atmosphere, especially at Werder, is something I am really relishing. I want to make my contribution to a successful season as quickly as possible.
994 made 994 clearances and 478 interceptions since 2009 in Ligue 1, more than any other player. Werder.
