Mbaye Niang joins Dunkerque after saying Ligue 2 suits him better than AC Milan

Former AC Milan striker Mbaye Niang has begun a new chapter of his career in France after signing for Ligue 2 club Dunkerque.

The 31-year-old ended his contract with Genclerbirligi several weeks ago and became a free agent before agreeing a deal with Dunkerque.

Niang, who has also played in Italy, Turkey and Morocco during his career, said: “Ligue 2 suits me better than AC Milan.”

Dunkerque are currently 11th in the Ligue 2 table.
