Borussia Monchengladbach sign Kwame Yeboah

Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach have agreed a deal to sign Australian striker Kwame Yeboah from A-League team Brisbane Roar.

The 19-year-old will join his new club when the winter transfer window opens at the start of January, and the club's director of football Max Eberl believes that Yeboah has a lot of potential to fulfil at Gladbach.

"We're happy that Kwame has decided to join us," Bundesliga.com quotes Eberl as saying. "He has great potential and is exactly the type of player we're looking for in terms of scouting for talent.

"He'll receive all the time he needs from us to get used to his new surroundings."

Yeboah has scored twice in 11 appearances for Brisbane.
