Holstein Kiel sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth has praised the singing of signing of Ghanaian winger David Atanga in the on-going summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old joined the Bundesliga II outfit on a three-year deal from Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg.

Atanga became the tenth signing of the side ahead of the new season and the technical director of the side Fabian Wohlgemuth has hailed the capture of the talented Ghanaian.

"With David Atanga we were able to win an extremely fast and mobile winger for us, which can be used on both wings," he said

"He also dribbles strong, brings a great understanding of the game and a certain wit."

The youngster joined Red Bull Salzburg from West African Football Academy in 2015.

At just 18, he featured for Salzburg and FC Liefering.

Two years subsequently he played for SV Mattersburg and SKN St. Pölten.

He was loaned to German second-tier side Greuther Fürth where he made 31 appearances, scored once and provided seven assists last season.

He played six matches for Ghana at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
