"Bordeaux is a beautiful seaside city and Les Girondins were always at the top of the French league," he said.
"The last season was not ideal for them. They will want to get back to the top in the new one and I will be glad to be able to help them."
"Out of all the offers I had, I like this one the most. Bordeaux wanted me last year after the European Championships but I had to undergo knee surgery and was sidelined for half a season.
"Their interest remained and that is the most important thing for any player when seeking a transfer."
