Watch: Malta international Teddy Teuma seals move to French side Stade Reims

Malta international midfielder Teddy Teuma has completed his move to French side Stade Reims, the Ligue 1 side said in a statement.

The Times of Malta had reported last month that the Malta midfielder had attracted interest from Ligue 1 sides Stade Rennes and Stade Reims.

However, when contacted by the Times of Malta, the former Royal Saint-Gilloise midfielder had confirmed that a move to Stade Reims was a possibility.

In fact, negotiations between the French side and Union Saint Gilloise were held in the past weeks before an agreement was finally reached for the player to make a return to French football where he will play in one of the biggest championships on the continent.

“We are entering a pivotal stage of our project,” Mathieu Lacour, Stade Reims General Manager said.

“We are now able to attract good quality players on the European scene. Beyond his footballing qualities, Teddy Teuma boasts high-level experience and his leadership will be real added value for the group.”

On his part, Teuma told the club website that he can’t wait to get started at his new club, where he will wear the coveted no.10 jersey.

“It’s a pleasure to join the big red and white family,” he said.

“The Stade de Reims is a historic club and it is a source of pride for me to join this team. The club’s technical project is attractive and I can’t wait to wear the club’s shirt and play in front of our fans.”
