Aly Abeid: Valenciennes sign Levante and Mauritania full-back

Ligue 2 side Valenciennes have announced the signing of Aly Abeid from La Liga club Levante on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

The Mauritania international spent last season on loan with Spanish Segunda Division side Alcorcon, featuring in 12 league games.

The 22-year-old full-back only played once for Levante since his promotion to the first team in 2018, and in his quest to enjoy more playing time and gather experience, the defender signed for the Athenians on Thursday after undergoing a successful medical test.
