Montpellier have snapped up Genoa wing-back Silvan Hefti.

The Swiss player leaves the Rossoblù in a loan arrangement with a permanent option set at €3m.

Montpellier announced the deal last night.

Hefti said: "I'm really too happy to have reached such an important club as Montpellier and I can't wait to discover the French championship."

He joined Genoa 18 months ago from Young Boys.
