Belson has made 11 first-team appearances for Metz

Milton Keynes Dons have signed 21-year-old defensive midfielder Flavien Belson from FC Metz on a season-long loan.

Belson is a former France Under-18 international and graduate of the Metz academy that produced Robert Pires, Louis Saha and Emmanuel Adebayor.

He becomes Roberto Di Matteo's fourth signing since taking over as boss and is expected to feature in Saturday's League One fixture at Huddersfield.

The Dons have an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the loan.
