Hannes Wolf has officially joined Swansea City.
The Austrian will spend the remainder of the current campaign on loan with the Swans from Bundesliga outfit Borussia Mönchengladbach.
So what exactly can the Jack Army expect from the 22-year-old attacker?
We spoke to Hannah Gobrecht - sports editor at the Rheinische Post - to find out more about Swansea's latest signing.
How has Hannes Wolf fared at Borussia Mönchengladbach since joining on a permanent deal?
HG : The purchase obligation entered last season because Wolf had many games under ex-coach Marco Rose who came together with Wolf to Borussia.
Rose knew Wolf since the under-16s at RB Salzburg as Wolf was a teenager and Rose a youth coach.
In the Bundesliga, Wolf has been part of the squad 52 times so far, but he was only in the starting team 16 times. At the beginning of the season under new coach Adi Hütter, he started a few times because he benefited from the fact that others were at the European Championships, Jonas Hofmann was not fit and Marcus Thuram was seriously injured in the second game of the season.
After that, he has had to sit on the bench three times in a row (game weeks seven, eight and nine) and he was substituted on against Bochum in the final minutes.
He lost the ball three times and was responsible for the free-kick that led to Bochum's goal and played very unluckily. After that he was no longer used by Hütter.
What has his injury record been like?
He had a broken ankle in 2019 at the Under-21 European Championship. The injury set him back a long way.
The move to Leipzig was already certain at that point, but that made it difficult for him to get a chance under Julian Nagelsmann.

Which positions does he play in and where does he fit in best?
He can play on both wing positions and in attacking midfield.
The last month he mostly played on the left wing because he favours the left foot.
What are his strengths and weaknesses as a player?
I think one of his strengths is his flexibility in the offence and his left foot.
He also possesses real power and has gained a lot of muscle, especially in the upper body.
His playing style often appears as if he is not showing any commitment, such is his relaxed style.
Another clear strength is his cleverness to counter press.
He can stress opponents, but it is also dependent on his team-mates following the pressing.
At Borussia, the fans often missed visible commitment and the toughness in the duels with his opponents.
What is Borussia Mönchengladbach's long-term hope for Wolf?
That’s a good question. At the moment I think they only want to give him game practice.
I think if there would be a club this winter who would buy Wolf, the club would be ready to sell him.
It will be hard for Wolf to have a future at Borussia but also he has a contract until 2024…
What is the club's hope for his loan spell at Swansea?
If he develops at Swansea, I think the club will try to sell him in the summer.
They once paid €1.5m for the loan to Leipzig plus a transfer fee of €9m which is a significant amount for a club like Borussia, especially with the tight finance situation due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But also it is possible that other players will leave the club in summer and Borussia needs Wolf.
