Borussia Monchengladbach sign Paris Saint-Germain defender Mamadou Doucoure

Borussia Monchengladbach have completed the signing of teenage defender Mamadou Doucoure from Paris Saint-Germain.

The 18-year-old centre-back successfully passed his medical on Friday before putting pen to paper on a five-year deal.

"We're delighted that Mamadou Doucoure has decided to join Borussia. He is a huge talent and there were lots of big clubs looking to sign him," Monchengladbach sporting director Max Eberl said in a statement on the club's official website.

"With this transfer, we are continuing our tradition of bringing young players with lots of potential to the club and giving them an opportunity to take their careers to the next level."

Doucoure, who was part of the France team that won the Under-17 European Championship in 2015, did not make a senior appearance for PSG but was named as a substitute once in 2015-16.
