The skipper of the Indomitable Lions Rigobert Song has moved from Lens, France to Turkish giants, Galatasaray for a fee of about 3 million US dollars.
The club announced that 28-year-old Song has signed a two-year deal, after passing a medical on July 10.
Song is the second Cameroonian to play for Galatasaray, after Saidou Alliuom, former player with Coton Sport Garoua and captain of the national Olympic team.
