CONFIRMED - Hinteregger joins Augsburg
This is a big signing for FC Augsburg, who have confirmed the arrival of Austria international centre-back Martin Hinteregger from FC Salzburg. The 23-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Mönchengladbach, but has signed a two-year deal at the WWK ARENA, with the option to extend.
"I'm really pleased that the transfer has gone through," said Hinteregger. "I really wanted to play in the Bundesliga again and think Augsburg is the perfect destination. They've achieved great things here in the last few years, and I want to help us reach our aims."
"Martin Hinteregger was a player we really wanted to fill the gap at centre-back," said Augsburg sporting director Stefan Reuter. "It wasn't easy, but it was worth staying patient right until the end."

There's been a little bit of movement around closing time, with Bundesliga 2 side Düsseldorf sealing a deal for promising young FC Schalke 04 defender Kaan Ayhan, who is currently with the Turkish national team. The 21-year-old has penned a two-year deal with Fortuna.
