FC Augsburg have confirmed the signing of Yannik Keitel on loan from VfB Stuttgart.

The former Freiburg midfielder joins the WWK-Arena on a six-month loan deal, which includes an option to buy.

“Yannik is an intelligent player who can be used flexibly,” said FC Augsburg sporting director Benni Weber. 

“He can strengthen us immediately in both defensive midfield and central defence. Having played in the Bundesliga, he won’t require a long adaptation period. We are convinced he will be able to contribute to our team both on and off the pitch in the near future. We are therefore especially pleased that he has chosen to join FCA.”

Keitel hasn't made a single appearance for Stuttgart’s first team this season.
