In a major coup for FC Augsburg, the Bundesliga side has signed Tottenham Hotspur's highly-rated 18-year-old winger on a six-month loan with a potential buy-out clause.

The youngster, who has already made several appearances for Spurs' under-23 team this season, will be hoping to make a name for himself in Germany and beyond during his time at Augsburg.

Augsburg have been one of the most impressive sides in the Bundesliga this season, and the addition of the young winger is sure to boost their attacking options.

The club's sporting director, Matthias Sammer, said: "We're delighted to welcome him to the club. He's a talented player with a lot of potential, and we're looking forward to seeing what he can bring to our squad."

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was also happy with the signing, saying: "It's always difficult when players move on, but I'm pleased that they've found a new home where they'll continue to develop their careers."

Augsburg have struggled defensively this season, conceding 46 goals in just 17 games so far, which is more than any other team in the league. The arrival of the young winger could provide some much-needed cover and defensive solidity.

However, the club will need to work hard to ensure that the winger is able to settle into German football and become a regular starter in the Bundesliga. It remains to be seen whether he can match the success of his compatriot, Christian Pulisic, who recently moved to Borussia Dortmund from Chelsea.

Overall, the signing of the young winger by FC Augsburg is a significant development for both the club and its fans. It promises to be an exciting season ahead for the team as they look to compete for European honours.
