The former RB Leipzig man is known for his dynamic play style, combining excellent technical ability with a high work rate and versatility on the field. He excels as a box-to-box midfielder, capable of contributing both defensively and offensively.
He would no doubt be an invaluable addition as they aim to capture the Bundesliga title next season.
