Bayer Leverkusen sign Real Betis' Borja Iglesias on loan

"Borja Iglesias with his football profile can fill the gap left by Victor's [Boniface] absence," Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes told the club's website.

"He is physically strong, is good at winning the ball, is confident in moves, does not shirk any challenges and is good at finishing. He gives us a necessary option in attack to continue our successful season."

Iglesias added: "It really is a fantastic challenge for me. The team is currently causing a stir in Spain with lots of people there watching the team that's making a really great impression. I'm excited about the opportunity to be part of it and I will give my all for the success of this team."
