Ivory Coast international Guéla Doué has completed his move to Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth €37.5 million from Strasbourg.
The 23-year-old defender had emerged as one of Strasbourg's key players, making his departure another heavy blow for the French club in a busy transfer window.
Doué's performances in Ligue 1 attracted growing interest from several clubs, with Bayer Leverkusen ultimately winning the race for his signature.
For the Bundesliga outfit, the Ivorian brings youth, versatility and defensive quality as they look to stay competitive at home and in Europe.
Strasbourg, meanwhile, must now find a replacement with the transfer deadline looming.
What does Doué offer Leverkusen?
The 23-year-old arrives as a defender with room to grow, giving the German side depth across the back line and a player capable of stepping onto the European stage.
Doué now begins a new chapter in Germany, with Leverkusen hoping the Ivorian justifies the club's significant investment.
