Cardiff City signed former France Under-21 defender Kevin Theophile-Catherine from Rennes for an undisclosed fee on Saturday.
.
Theophile-Catherine, 23, was at Saturday's goalless draw against Everton in south Wales as he tied up his move to the Premier League club for a fee believed to be in the region of £2 million on a four-year contract.
.
"We have signed Kevin Theophile-Catherine from Rennes today," Bluebirds manager Malky Mackay confirmed at his post-match press conference.
.
"He is a good defender, he is someone we have tracked over the last year in France.
.
"He is someone who has pace, is aggressive and has good experience in the French top division, so he is someone we feel will be a good addition to our squad."
.
The move takes Cardiff's spending since their promotion from the Championship last season through the £30 million mark after the acquisitions of Gary Medel, Steven Caulker, Andreas Cornelius, John Brayford, Simon Moore and Maximiliano Amondarain.
