Ghana striker Majeed joins Lorient

Ghana international striker Waris Majeed has signed for Lorient, the French Ligue 1 outfit have announced.
Majeed, 23, had been expected to join Rennes in a €3.5 million ($4.36 million) deal from Turkish side Trabzonspor. However, at the last hour, Lorient trumped their Ligue 1 rivals’ bid with a €4-million plus bonuses offer.
Lorient were able to outbid fellow Bretons Rennes thanks to the €12 million fee garnered from Aston Villa for the sale of Majeed’s Ghana international teammate Jordan Ayew.
Majeed previously played in France for Valenciennes in 2013/14 where he scored an impressive nine goals in 16 appearances.
