Angers signs striker Mohamed Yattara from Standard Liege on loan
Transfer-happy Angers is at it again, this time signing 22-year-old striker Mohamed Yattara from Belgian side Standard Liege on loan, the club announced Monday.
As one Guinean international exits, another one joins the ranks, as Yattara's signing comes on the heels of Abdoul Camara's transfer to Derby County earlier in the day.

The move isn't Yattara's first spell with the club, as the forward enjoyed a 15-goal loan with the club in 2013, while on Lyon's books. Since joining Les Gones in 2010, Yattara had loans with Arles-Avignon, Troyes and Angers prior to moving to the Jupiler League in 2015 for a reported fee of €2 million.
Angers announced that the loan deal would expire at season's end with an option to buy. Financial terms of the transfer were not disclosed.
