Switzerland international Admir Mehmedi has completed a move from Bayer Leverkusen to fellow Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.
Wolfsburg have announced the signing of Admir Mehmedi, the striker joining from Bayer Leverkusen.
The Switzerland international has started eight Bundesliga games this season, scoring two goals, and has signed on a four-and-a-half year deal.
Mehmedi will wear the number 22 during his Wolfsburg stay and head coach Martin Schmidt hailed the arrival of the 26-year-old.
"Admir has a lot of experience, but is far from having reached the end of his development," Schmidt told Wolfsburg's website.
"With him, we have more options in the attacking game, are even more complete and thus harder to figure out."
