VfB Stuttgart have announced the signing of 23-year-old midfielder Chris Führich from Paderborn on a four-year contract until 2025 for a reported €2.5m.
Führich quickly reached an agreement with Stuttgart but the Bundesliga side were unable to reach an agreement with Paderborn, who wanted a figure of around €3m for the German.
Joining Paderborn from Borussia Dortmund II last summer, Führich scored 14 and created eight in 37 games.
