Stuttgart have announced the signing of French-born winger Ibrahima Traore from Augsburg. The 23-year-old midfielder has agreed to a three-year deal with the Swabians.

“Ibrahima Traore is a young and motivated player who wants to prove himself at VfB,” Stuttgart sporting director Fredi Bobic told reporters upon announcing the move.

Traore made one Bundesliga appearance for Hertha BSC before moving to Augsburg in 2009. Since then, he has scored eight goals in 41 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga.

Though Augsburg managed to be promoted to the 1. Bundesliga this year, the left winger opted out of signing a contract extension, and moves to Swabia on a free transfer.

After Tamas Hajnal, Traore is the second player to sign with Stuttgart in recent days.
