Wolfsburg snap up Steffen from Basel

Renato Steffen has joined Wolfsburg on a three-and-a-half-year deal from Basel, the two clubs have confirmed.

The 26-year-old had impressed for the Swiss side in the Champions League this season, with his direct running and wing play making him a threat.

And Wolfsburg have taken notice, moving to bring the Switzerland international to the Volkswagen Arena until 2021, for a reported fee of €1.75million.

Wolfsburg will hope the winger can help inspire an improvement in their fortunes, with Martin Schmidt's men 12th in the Bundesliga ahead of the resumption from Germany's mid-season break.

Steffen is in line to make his debut against Borussia Dortmund on Sunday.
