According to the official website of Saint-Etienne on July 7, the team signed Soviet Super League Celtic defender Saidy Janko, and the transfer fee was not disclosed. Janko signed a 4-year contract with Saint-Etienne.
The 21-year-old defender has spent two seasons on loan with Championship side Barnsley due to difficulties in playing at Celtic, and he will play Ligue 1 with Saint-Etienne next season.
The former United player is primarily at right-back, but can also be presupposed to be a midfielder on the right. The new No. 15 in Saint-Etienne said: "I am very happy to be with the team. Saint-Etienne is one of the biggest clubs in France, with a glorious history and great fans. In terms of my form, I felt good when I trained with the Celtics two weeks ago. ”
