FC Lausanne-Sport has signed Alexis Blin following the long-term absence of Koba Koindredi. The 29-year-old French defensive midfielder, who has played twice for France at U21 level, joined as a free agent on a contract until the end of the season, which contains an option for two further years. Blin, who was trained at Le Mans and later Toulouse, had been without a club since the start of September after previously spending five years in Italy with Lecce and Palermo. His current Transfermarkt market value is €650k, and he had also been linked with Cesena.
