Ghanaian midfielder Francis Abu has completed a move to French Ligue 1 side Toulouse, signing a four-year contract.
He joins from Belgian club Cercle Brugge, having arrived in France on Sunday night to undergo his medical.
Abu made over 60 league appearances for Cercle Brugge, registering one goal and seven assists.
Turkish sides Basaksehir FK and Trabzonspor were among the clubs pursuing his signature, while Burnley, Torino, and Genoa also showed interest but Toulouse ultimately won the race.
"I'm very happy to be here,” Abu told the club’s media.
“I can't wait to start this new challenge and join this wonderful family. I'm also looking forward to discovering the Pink City and meeting all the club's incredible supporters.”
Francis came through the Right to Dream Academy before eventually signing for Danish side FC Nordsjaelland.
He has also been capped five times by the Ghana national team - Black Stars - with his debut coming in March 2024.
