PARIS: Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain strengthened their attack by signing France winger Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco on a five-year deal on Thursday.
PSG announced the signing in a statement without giving financial details. French sports daily L’Equipe said PSG paid 50 million euros ($58 million) for the 24-year-old player.
Akliouche was one of Ligue 1’s best players last season and caused PSG problems in both legs of their Champions League playoff, which PSG won 5-4.
The left-footed Akliouche stood out against PSG with his runs from deep and is particularly dangerous breaking down either flank.
He came on for France as a substitute against Iraq at the recent World Cup.
