Franck Tabanou joins Granada on loan

Swansea City defender Franck Tabanou joins La Liga side Granada on loan for the rest of the season.

Swansea City defender Franck Tabanou has completed a season-long loan move to La Liga side Granada.

The 27-year-old Frenchman moved to the Welsh side from Saint-Etienne last summer but has failed to make a Premier League appearance for the Swans and spent the second half of last season back at Saint-Etienne on loan.

Just yesterday Tabanou insisted that he would be remaining part of the Swansea setup this term, telling L'Equipe: "I've decided to stay. I know that this year I will get my chance to pick a place in the starting XI and to keep it."

Tabanou had been linked with a return to France on deadline day, with Lorient and Marseille touted as possible destinations, but he will now spend the season with Granada.

Granada have got off to a poor start in La Liga this season, taking one point from their opening two fixtures and being defeated 5-1 by Las Palmas at the weekend.
