Bayer Leverkusen announced that it has completed the signing of Arminia Bielefeld starlet Nico Perrey.
The center-back was one of the stars of the German U-17 team that reached the European Championship final and took third place in the World Cup earlier this summer.
Last year, the 17-year-old played for Bielefeld's U19 team. However, following his good performances on the international stage and the relegation of his club to the 3. Liga, Perrey opted to move to Leverkusen.
There, he joins fellow Germany U-17 internationals Samed Yesil and Okan Aydin.
"Nico wants to take the next step with us. He was well trained in Bielefeld, but with the relegation of Arminia from the A-Junior-Bundesliga, he would no longer be called for at a high level," Bayer youth coach Jurgen Gelsdorf told the club's official website.
Along with his fellow youth international teammates, Perrey will spend the next two weeks on holiday before resuming training on August 1.
