AS St Etienne Benoit Assou-Ekotto

Cameroon defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto has signed a one-year deal with French Ligue 1 side St Etienne.

The 31-year-old has been without a club since leaving English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, where he spent nine years.

He did not play at all for Tottenham in the 2014-15 season and spent the previous season on loan with Queens Park Rangers.

"Officially at St Etienne so happy - back in football," he wrote on Twitter.

Assou-Ekotto has not played for Cameroon since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, when he was involved in an argument with his teammate Benjamin Moukandjo and even appeared to headbutt him.
