Ghana defender Alidu Seidu says it is a privilege to sign for French Ligue 1 club Stade Rennais.

The 23-year-old versatile joins from fellow French top-flight side Clermont Foot on a fee around €11 million.

The Black Stars defender has now completed his mandatory medical checks after returning from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations where he did not feature much.

He has signed a four-year contract that will run until 2028.

Speaking after the deal was announced, Alidu Seidu was delighted to see the move go through.

“Stade Rennais is a great club and it's a great privilege for me. I had a great time at Clermont, they gave me everything and welcomed me like a member of the family. I became a man there, and the adventure continues at Rennes and I'm very happy about that.

“I'm a player who doesn't like to lose, I'm a fighter, I give everything for my colleagues and I'm always looking to progress.”
