Saint-Etienne have confirmed the signing of Ryad Boudebouz on a three-year deal from LaLiga club Real Betis.
The move marks Boudebouz’s return to France since he left for Betis in 2017 and made him the seventh signing to join the Greens this summer.
The 29-year-old penned a three-year deal that will keep him at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard until 2022.
During his two-year stint in the Spanish top-flight, Boudebouz struggled for form scoring three goals in 41 appearances across all competitions.
He spent the second half of the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Celta Vigo where he scored a goal in 11 league outings.
