(Reuters) - Schalke have signed midfielder Benjamin Stambouli from Paris St Germain on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee, the Bundesliga club said on Friday.

The 26-year-old won Ligue 1 with Montpellier in 2012 and made 27 league appearances during PSG's title-winning campaign last season but he has been deemed surplus to requirements by new coach Unai Emery.
