Ghana winger Ishmael Yartey has completed his move to French Ligue 1 side FC Sochaux Montb�liard, MTNFootball.com can exclusively reveal.
He was presented to Les Lionceaux fans at the Stade Auguste Bonal at a colourful press conference on Monday.
�I�m delighted with the atmosphere. It is a great club with a great tradition and players,� Yartey told MTNFootball.com in an exclusive interview.
�I have aimed at many great things at this club and I�m gearing up to work right away.�
The 22-year-old signed a four-year-deal worth US$5 million from Portuguese giants SL Benfica after agreeing personal terms and passing medical last Friday.
Sochaux beat Swiss Super League side FC Sion, German side Borussia Monchengladbach and Ligue 1 sides Olympique Marseille and Lille to acquire the talented winger.
Yartey has been signed as replacement for Mali international Modibo Ma�ga who has joined West Ham United.
The 2007 Ghana Under-17 star will wear the number 15 jersey which was left by Ma�ga.
