Forward Majeed Waris says he always wanted to return to France after a torrid spell in Portugal with giants Porto.
The striker returned to France to join Strasbourg on loan for the rest of the season, with La Racing having the option of making the move a permanent one at the end of the campaign.
The 28-year old revealed, France was always a priority in making the move.
" I am very happy to come to Racing," he said after signing for the club. "It was my priority to come back to France,' he added.
"Strasbourg is a club I know. Loic Désiré (the recruitment manager) and Racing have been following me for several months.
"I faced Strasbourg recently with FC Nantes. There is an incredible atmosphere in the stadium and I want to live great moments with the Meinau public.
"I hope to bring my qualities to a team which already has very good attackers."
