Official: Bielefeld sign French winger through 2025
DSC Arminia Bielefeld confirmed on Sunday that they had secured the services of 22-year-old French winger Bryan Lasme for the coming season.
Sporting director Samir Arabi snatches up a player from the very same club where VfL Wolfsburg's Jörg Schmadtke pulled Maxence Lacroix last summer.

The second-tier French footballing side produced perhaps the most successful Bundesliga transfer of the just completed 2020/21 campaign. Wolfsburg snatched up defender Maxence Lacroix from Les Jaunes et Bleus last year.
Transfermarkt lists Lasme's current market value at €2 million, but Germany's Neue Westfälische Zeitung reports that the East Westphalians have spent less than €900,000 to procure the young talent.
"Bryan is a very flexible attacker who brings with him a great deal of potential," DSC sporting director Samir Arabi said in a statement, "We are delighted that he has chosen Arminia."
"I am very happy to have signed with Arminia Bielefeld," the 22-year-old said in his own statement, "I really want to take a chance in the Bundesliga because some of my friends have already gone that way and I'm thus familiar with the league."
Bienvenue à Bielefeld, Bryan Lasme!
