AS Saint-Etienne have announced the signing of Ghanaian midfielder Augustine Boakye from Wolfsberger.

The 23-year-old joined the French Ligue 1 side on a four-year deal with an option to extend for another year.

Boakye scored nine goals and provided six assists in the Austrian top-flight last season.

He becomes the club's fourth signing after Yunis Abdelhamid, Ben Old, and Zuriko Davitashvili.

Boakye will hope to hit the ground running in their pre-season opener against Clermont on July 20.

Saint-Etienne remain keen to bolster their squad for survival next season having earned promotion back to the topflight.
