KIEV, July 12 (Reuters) - France defender Benoit Tremoulinas has left Girondins Bordeaux and signed a four-year contract with Dynamo Kiev, the club said on their website (www.fcdynamo.kiev.ua).

He is the second major signing of the close season for the Ukrainian championship runners-up who also bought Morocco midfielder Younes Belhanda from Montpellier last month for an undisclosed fee.

The attack-minded Tremoulinas, 27, is expected to play on the left side of the defence.

He played 165 games for Bordeaux after joining the French club in 2007, scoring five goals.
