The Bundesliga giants FC Augsburg have signed young winger Marco Knecht with six-month loan in the winter window and included a buyout option.
Knecht, who is just 18 years old, has already impressed at various youth levels and will now be given another opportunity to showcase his talent at the highest level.
The move comes as part of the club's plans to strengthen its attacking line ahead of the upcoming season, which starts in the summer.
In addition to Knecht, FC Augsburg also announced that they have secured the services of German international midfielder Christian Hohmann from Schalke 04 for the remainder of the season.
Hohmann, who has played for several top clubs across Europe, will provide depth and versatility to the team's attack.
The signing of Knecht and Hohmann adds further stability to FC Augsburg's squad and should help them to maintain their strong position in the Bundesliga.
The club has also revealed that it has completed the purchase of striker Sebastian Lüthi from Bundesliga rivals RB Leipzig.
Lüthi, who has been linked with moves to several European clubs this summer, will join the club on loan until the end of the season.
The move completes the overhaul of FC Augsburg's squad and should provide a solid foundation for the club's future success.
Overall, FC Augsburg continues to be a force in the Bundesliga and their efforts to strengthen their squad are likely to pay off in the coming seasons.
