Aruna Dindane joins Qatar club Lekhwiya

Ivory Coast forward Aruna Dindane has joined Qatari club Lekhwiya from Lens on a three-year contract.

The French club announced the transfer on its website Friday, without disclosing any details of the deal.

Lens loaned the 29-year-old Dindane to Portsmouth last season, where he scored eight goals in the Premier League.

He previously scored 27 league goals in 102 games for Lens, and 50 in 131 for Belgian side Anderlecht.

The Doha-based Lekhwiya club also signed Bakari Kone from Marseille last season, Dindane's Ivory Coast teammate.
