Charlton have made former France defender Rod Fanni their fifth signing of the transfer window.

The 34-year-old arrives from Qatari side Al-Arabi, whom he had joined from Ligue 1 Marseille.

Fanni's capture follows that of Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo - the 23-year-old committing to the Sky Bet Championship strugglers until the end of the season.

Imposing full-back Fanni won five caps for his country between 2008 and 2013 and will link up with compatriot Alou Diarra at The Valley.

The Addicks - currently second from bottom of the Championship - had already sealed deals for Roger Johnson, Diego Poyet and Jorge Teixeira.

Meanwhile, Charlton have cancelled the contracts of Franck Moussa and Ricardo Vaz Te by mutual consent.
