Trial spell
The 33-year-old full back has agreed a one-year deal after impressing on trial at the Parc des Princes after his contract with the Lisbon club expired. Capped 35 times by his country, Hélder could make his French league debut against Toulouse FC on Saturday, fitness permitting.
Rocchi loan
PSG have also loaned midfield player Romain Rocchi to SC Bastia for a season. The 22-year-old played 18 games - 15 as a substitute - last term as the capital side finished runners-up to Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 1.
