Kristjaan Speakman said: "Adil broke onto the scene in the French top tier and despite his age, he has made a significant number of appearances.

"More recently he has not played regularly, but we believe in his talent and flexibility, and his potential to further improve in our environment.

"His challenge now is to break into a highly competitive team and forge his way in the Championship, but we are looking forward to supporting him in that process and we will ensure he has everything he needs to succeed throughout his time at the Stadium of Light."
