Augsburg have announced the permanent signing of Felix Uduokhai from Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg after impressing during his loan stint.
The German-born Nigerian centre-back joined the Fuggerstadter last summer on loan and immediately became a key member of Heiko Herrlich’s team.
The 22-year-old has featured 23 times for Augsburg this season to help them to their present 13th position on the league table.

His consistent showings have propelled the Fuggerstadter to trigger their purchase option and he will now continue his development at WWK Arena.
“Defender Felix Uduokhai will not be returning to VfL Wolfsburg after FC Augsburg exercised their option to buy the 22-year-old centre-half, who had been on loan since the start of the season with the team that is currently sitting 13th in the table,” read a statement on the club website.
