Ernest Poku has officially joined Bayer 04 Leverkusen from Dutch side AZ.

The 21-year-old winger has inked a five-year deal with the Bundesliga outfit.

“Ernest Poku is a brilliant winger who can give us something special up front with his pace and dribbling ability,” said Bayer 04 managing director for sport Simon Rolfes.

“He is tricky and assertive and with his tempo and his dynamism Ernest enormously extends our possibilities on the pitch.”

Poku, a Netherlands U21 international, is looking forward to what lies ahead at his new club.

“Now I can hardly wait to join Leverkusen in the Bundesliga,” he said.

“It’s a big club, a Champions League club! I’m happy Bayer 04 have given me this chance.”
