Blackburn Rovers sign striker Bangaly-Fode Koita from Caen on a two-year contract.

Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of striker Bangaly-Fode Koita from Caen.

The 24-year-old former France Under-21 international has penned a two-year deal with the Championship club.

Koita scored seven goals in 59 appearances for Caen during a two-year spell at the Stade Michel d'Ornano.

"I'm very happy to be here," he told Blackburn's official website. "It is my dream to play in England and now my dream has come true. I want to work hard and I hope I win many games for my new team.

"In France the game is more technical, but here it is physical, it is very strong. I am here to learn and to do my best. I am really excited because I have waited to be here and now I am, I want to be happy."

Koita is the second new signing to arrive at Ewood Park today following the capture of midfielder Sacha Petshi on a free transfer.
