Bayern youngster Mitchell Weiser joins Hertha Berlin

Xinhua, June 19, 2015 Adjust font size:

Berlin strengthen their midfield with the signing of Bayern youngster Mitchell Weiser, the "Hertha" confirmed in a statement on Thursday.

Hertha Berlin wrapped up the first summer transfer as Mitchel Weiser joined from the German record champions. The 21-year-old midfielder inked a three-year deal, which keeps him at Berlin until June 2018.

"Mitchell is a young and viable player who is fast on both wings," Berlin' s manager Michael Preetz told the club' s official homepage.

Weiser joined the "Bavarians" in June 2013 to make 16 appearances and one goal with the first team. However, he played mainly for Bayern' s second team.

"I see this transfer an exciting challenge. I want to contribute with the great supporters to complete a successful season," the new arrival said.

Hertha Berlin completed the last season on the 15th place of the Bundesliga standings. Endi
