Hertha BSC have confirmed the arrival of 20-year-old winger Farid Alfa-Ruprecht from Bayer Leverkusen.
The former Manchester City youngster has joined the German capital club on a season-long loan deal.
“With Farid, we’re getting a player who brings plenty of pace and dynamism and feels comfortable on both wings. We’re delighted to have convinced him to join Hertha BSC,” said Hertha BSC sporting director Benjamin Weber.
Alfa-Ruprecht spent last season on loan at VfL Bochum and is now looking forward to returning to the second tier for another spell.
“For me, it was quickly clear that the move to Berlin was the right step. I’m looking forward to the season with Hertha, I know the league pretty well and will give everything to ensure we experience plenty of great moments together,” Alfa-Ruprecht said.
