We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Toulouse for the transfer of Etienne Capoue.

The France international, 25, has made 174 appearances, scoring 13 times in Ligue 1 for Toulouse and was named in the league's Team of the Year in 2012 alongside Hugo Lloris.

The powerful defensive midfielder, who can also be employed at centre-half, has represented his country at Under-18, 19 and 21 level as well as earning seven full international caps, scoring once.
