Wolfsburg have confirmed the signing of Switzerland international full-back Kevin Mbabu from Young Boys.
The 24-year-old will join the Bundesliga club at the end of the season in a deal reportedly worth in the region of €9.2million.
I m really looking forward to this new challenge and the adventure in the Bundesliga, Mbabu told Wolfsburg s website after completing his medical on Thursday.
The facilities at the club are ideal for me to keep improving as a footballer at a high level.
Managing director Jorg Schmadtke added: Kevin Mbabu made a very positive impression on us when we scouted him and reinforced that impression during our discussions with him.
He s particularly strong and quick, and he s a player who will fit in well at VfL Wolfsburg as a footballer and as a person.
Mbabu, who has signed a four-year contract, came through the Servette youth system before enjoying a brief spell in the Premier League with Newcastle United.
He returned to his homeland in 2016 and has played a major role in Young Boys winning back-to-back Super League titles, ending the dominance of Basel.
.: I obviously know the importance of the number shirt, which Junior Malanda wore. It s a big honour for me to wear that number. It goes without saying that it gives me extra motivation to give my all and earn the right to wear the shirt.
