Victorien Angban leaves the 42-strong Chelsea loan army, as a clause in his move sees him move permanent to Metz for around €6 million after they beat Red Star 2-1 to secure Ligue 1 status for next season, Goal understands.
An opening goal from Habib Diallo and a 90th minute winner from Opa Nguette led Metz to victory at Red Star after Ismael Camara equalized for the hosts in the 45th minute.
The victory means that Metz can't be caught by third-place Troyes, and Metz earn promotion in one of the two automatic spots in Ligue 2.
