St Etienne have made their second signing of the January transfer window by bringing in France winger Paul-Georges Ntep on loan from Rennes.

The 25-year-old will represent Les Verts until the end of the current season, the mid-table Ligue 1 club announced on Wednesday.

Ntep follows former Sunderland midfielder Yann M’Vila to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. Last week M’Vila agreed an 18-month deal with St Etienne following his release by Russian outfit Rubin Kazan.
