Christophe Jallet joins Lyon from Paris Saint-Germain

Lyon have completed the signing of Christophe Jallet from Paris Saint-Germain.

The right-back has signed a three-year contract at the Stade de Gerland after slipping down the pecking order at the French champions, playing second fiddle to Gregory van der Wiel last season.

"From the moment Lyon told me of their told me of their interest, it was a priority for me," the defender told the Lyon website. "I am very pleased to be here today. This is a new challenge for me, I have experienced a lot of things in my career.

"I want to take some new steps. I spent wonderful years in Paris but I need to go elsewhere to find some game time and fun. I am very happy to join this quality group to try and make my contribution to the defence and make a very nice season."

Jallet, who has been capped five times by France, joined PSG from Lorient in 2009.
