The 21-year-old holds both Swiss and Dominican citizenship and joins on a deal through to 2029. "We're gaining another option in central defence with Luca.

Some Bundesliga 2 news as Nuremberg confirm that they have turned their loan deal for Stefanos Tzimas into a permanent transfer. However, they have now sold the 19-year-old Greek to Brighton and Hove Albion in the English Premier League, but he will remain at the Max-Morlock-Stadion on loan for the remainder of this season. The Greece U21 international has 10 goals and one assist in 17 Bundesliga 2 outings this term.
Leipzig have also sent a player out on loan as André Silva joins his third Bundesliga club in Werder Bremen. The Portuguese striker, who has 56 goals in 129 Bundesliga games for Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt, will spend the rest of this season.

It's the final day of the winter transfer window across Europe.

You can follow all the deals in Germany as they're confirmed right here all day.
