“It’s a great challenge for me. I will have to adapt quickly to the style of the coach, and I can’t wait to meet up with my new teammates.”

Lorient boss Sylvain Ripoll has also spoken of his delight at signing as he describes him, “a young, talented defender.”

“Steven is a player we have been following or some time already. We know his qualities and we are confident that it will quickly use them to help the team” said Ripoll.

“He’s still a young player but he has solid experience in Ligue 1. We are happy to see him join us.”

Moreira has been capped at every national level for France (except the first team) & has already picked up 4 caps for the Under-21 team.
