Daniel Schwaab to join Stuttgart

Bayer Leverkusen defender Daniel Schwaab has agreed a deal to join fellow Bundesliga side Stuttgart in the summer.

Schwaab has signed a pre-contract deal that will see him stay at Stuttgart for three years, and the club's sporting director Fredi Bobic has said that the player will give the team options at the back.

"In Daniel we're signing a player who can be deployed in several different positions along the backline," Bobic told Bundesliga.com.

"He brings both Bundesliga and international experience with him and has a very good character. We're confident that he'll be able to further his development with us."

Schwaab has made 94 league appearances for Leverkusen since joining from Freiburg in 2009.
