Meyer to steal French centre from Top 14 rivals

The 24-year-old, with 35 France caps, will sign a five-year deal, according to French daily L'Equipe.

Last week, Stade Francais, who were bought by Swiss magnate Hans-Peter Wild, signed France second-row Yoann Maestri and Argentinian international flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez.

Stade struggled this term, only avoiding relegation on the final day of the campaign, but are aiming to rebuild under new South African coach Heyneke Meyer.
