The French team officially announced the addition of the point guard. The deal with the German player is for two years.

"I'm excited to join the team, to start a new chapter. I finished the season in the French championship last year, was able to play in Dijon and I really liked it. I can't wait to arrive to meet everyone," Saibou said about his decision to come to play in Dijon.

31-year-old (1.88) spent the 2020-21 season playing for Champagne Chalons-Reims Basket where he averaged 12.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in the French LNB Pro A league.
