The official website of the Norman club has confirmed the information. Midfielder Sidy Koné, on loan for six months without a purchase option, successfully underwent his medical examination on Wednesday afternoon.
Hailing from Olympique Lyonnais, Koné has seen minimal playing time, having participated in only two matches in Ligue 1 since joining OL in 2010. This transfer to the Norman club presents an opportunity for Koné to regain regular playing minutes.
The timing of Koné’s arrival is advantageous for Caen, as Laurent Agouazi, the midfielder of his new club, is currently sidelined with a knee injury. This transfer is seen as a strategic move by the Caen leaders to bolster the squad.
Despite his limited playing time at the club level, Sidy Koné has received a call-up to the Mali national team to participate in a friendly match scheduled for August 10, 2011, in Tunis.
