Bayer Leverkusen have completed the signing of sought-after midfielder Charles Aránguiz from Internacional on a five-year deal.
Chelsea were among the teams linked with his signature and Leicester City had reportedly tabled a bid but Leverkusen beat them after the player himself requested a transfer to Germany. He was handed the No. 20 shirt by Leverkusen, and he expressed his delight about the move. He said: “The Bundesliga is one of the best and most attractive leagues in the world and Bayer 04 has been one of the top clubs for years. My international team-mate Arturo Vidal raved about Bayer and that’s why I wanted to join this club. I also see Leverkusen giving me the big chance of playing in the Champions League. Leverkusen have almost been in it every year and we want to make to the group stage again this year. I’m looking forward to this huge challenge in a new country.”
