LEIPZIG, Germany (AP) Leipzig, which will be playing in the Champions League for the first time this coming season, has signed French forward Jean-Kevin Augustin from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Bundesliga side says the 20-year-old Augustin, who was reportedly also of interest to league rivals Borussia Dortmund and Hertha Berlin, has signed a five-year deal.
Augustin has made his way through all of France’s national youth sides, winning the Under-19 European Championship last year. He had been part of PSG’s senior squad since 2015.
