Millwall sign forward Arconte from Rodez

Tairyk Arconte has scored three goals in seven international appearances for Guadeloupe [Getty Images] Millwall have signed forward Tairyk Arconte from French second division side Rodez for an undisclosed fee. The 22-year-old Guadeloupe international scored 14 goals in 32 Ligue 2 appearances last season - with 13 of them coming for Rodez after he joined them from Pau. It was his second spell with Rodez, having previously featured on loan for the club while on the books at Brest. Millwall's director of football Steve Gallen said the club will need to "be patient" with Arconte, who has joined the Championship club on a "long-term" contract. "He's making a significant step - a different league, a different country, a different language. Those are real adjustments that take time, and we're prepared to give him that runway," he told the club website. ""Tairyk is a strong, quick, centre forward who wants to score goals. He's shown good things at Rodez and we believe he has the attributes to keep developing at this level." Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page
