Canadian midfielder Ismael Kone stays in France, joining Rennes on loan from Marseille

Canadian international midfielder Ismael Kone has moved clubs in France, joining Rennes on a season-long loan from Marseille.

For the 22-year-old from Montreal, it's a chance to establish himself in France's Ligue 1 after failing to find a home with Marseille.

He made just nine appearances for Marseille, with injuries not helping his cause since arriving in June from England's Watford.

Kone would become the first Canadian to play for Rennes.
