Leipzig sign Kampl on four-year deal

Kevin Kampl has signed a four-year deal with RB Leipzig after calling time on his stay at fellow Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen.

The Slovenia midfielder has signed for a reported €20million, boosting coach Ralph Hasenhuttl's options ahead of the club's maiden Champions League campaign.

Kampl, 26, has been capped 25 times by his country and has also had spells with Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund.

He is on international duty ahead of Slovenia's World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia and Lithuania, with his Bundesliga debut likely to come at Hamburg on September 8.
