Sweden goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson has agreed a deal to join French side Rennes from Djurgardens.

The highly-rated shot-stopper will help fill the void of Petr Cech's departure to Chelsea at Rennes. Rennes had targeted the former Juventus man after Cech agreed his move to The Blues last January.

Isaksson had initially not been so keen on a move to Rennes, but it appears he has changed his mind and is ready to move to France. The giant keeper has agreed a three-year deal at Rennes and he is expected to put pen to paper on the deal after Euro 2004.
