Arouna Koné have a new partner in the Sevilla FC, which confirmed this Sunday the signing of french defender Mouhamadou Dabo from Saint-Etienne, for play the next four years after failing to renew his team, with just contract on 30 June.

"Sevilla FC have secured the services of Mouhamadou Dabo, right side of Saint-Etienne, which will arrive on Monday in the Andalusian capital to pass the medical examination," says a statement on the official website of Sevilla, recent winner of the Copa del Rey.

Dabo, senegalese, becomes the fourth french defender with Abdoulay Konko, Julien Escude and Sebastien Squillaci. Dabo was born in Dakar 23 years ago and played at Saint-Etienne from the 2004-2005 season, has been playing good seasons and was even called by Domenech for the national team after its passage through the sub-21.

In this way, after a four-year renewal of Diego Capel, Sevilla began to prepare the squad for next season where he played prior to the Champions League and the Supercopa of Spain.
