Baumann completes Hoffenheim switch

Hoffenheim have completed the signing of goalkeeper Oliver Baumann from Freiburg for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old, who is a graduate of Freiburg's youth academy, has penned a four-year deal with his new club.

"After 14 years at SC Freiburg, I'm very keen to have some new surroundings," Baumann told Hoffenheim's official website.

"Hoffenheim have really shaken up the league lately with their very attacking playing style. I will try to provide a solid backing to help this playing style and develop even more. I'm looking forward to the challenge."

Baumann has been capped 10 times by Germany at Under-21 level.
