"Evian Thonon Gaillard and Kuban Krasnodar have reached an agreement over Mohammed Rabiu's permanent move," they said on their website (www.etgfc.com).

Krasnodar will pay a 2.6 million euros (£2.21 million) fee for the 23-year-old Rabiu, who has won 10 caps with Ghana, according to specialist website www.transfermarkt.com.
