Bonaventure Kalou has finalised a £1million move from Paris Saint Germain to Lens.

The Ivory Coast international lost his place in the PSG side after Paul Le Guen took charge midway through last season.

He still attracted the attention of several clubs over the summer and was linked with the likes of Toulouse and Portsmouth.

However, the 29-year-old forward has decided to join his former Auxerre coach Guy Roux at Lens, and is even understood to have taken a pay cut.

Kalou has agreed a three-year deal with Lens and will compete with compatriots Kanga Akale and Aruna Dindane for a place in the side.

All three are likely to be selected in the Ivory Coast squad for next year's African Cup of Nations, but reports suggest Kalou has agreed not to travel to the tournament in Ghana.
