Sydney FC sign ex-Wanderers playmaker Alexander Baumjohann to make derby statement

The Sky Blues have again looked to their arch-rivals to build their squad for a back-to-back championship tilt

Sydney FC have fired the first shot at derby rivals Western Sydney after the signing of ex-Wanderer Alexander Baumjohann on a two-year deal.

The announcement of the 32-year-old's capture was made on Tuesday morning, in a move that is sure to spark tension in next season's Sydney derbies.

Baumjohann impressed in his first A-League season after being brought Down Under to the red and black by Markus Babbel, scoring three goals and getting three assists in 20 appearances.
