Schalke sign Schopf

Schalke have signed midfielder Alessandro Schopf from Nuremberg on a three-and-a-half year deal.

The Austria youth international, 21, joins the Bundesliga club after spending a season and a half in the second tier.

"We are happy that the transfer worked," he said.

"Alessandro is a versatile midfielder with great potential whose development is, at 21 years of age, far from complete.

"He fits perfectly with our philosophy."
