RB Leipzig have announced that they have completed the signing of midfielder Ezechiel Banzuzi from Belgian side Leuven.

The Dutch youth international will move to Leipzig in the summer and signs a contract at the club until 2030. Banzuzi joins the Bundesliga side for a fee of around €16m, reports Sky Germany.

VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund were also in the 20-year-old.

What this means for the current Leipzig set of midfielders is clear. Amadou Haidara will not be offered a contract extension at the club, and the Saxony side will likely look to sell the midfielder in the summer. The Mali international dreams of playing in the Premier League. It was reported yesterday that Arsenal are one of the teams interested in the 27-year-old, who is valued at around €20m.

Elsewhere, Leipzig have Xaver Schlager, Kevin Kampl, Arthur Vermeeren and even the returning Ilaix Moriba to battle it out for the midfield positions next season.
