Monaco have further boosted Thierry Henry's midfield options with the signing of William Vainqueur on loan until the end of the season.
The 2016-17 French champions, mired in Ligue 1's relegation zone, had initially elected not to sign the former Nantes and Roma midfielder from Antalyaspor because of a calf injury.
However, they had a change of heart after being convinced by the 30-year-old, who follows fellow midfielder Cesc Fabregas in moving to the Stade Louis II.
Explaining their decision, Monaco vice-president and general manager Vadim Vasilyev told the club's official website: "William showed a determination and a willingness to get involved that led us to reconsider the situation.
