the former Preston North End loanee stated.

“We are very happy that Sepp has decided to join us despite interest from other clubs. In Sepp, we have gained a fast, tough, and strong central defender who will liven up the competition in the squad, just as we had planned following Malick Thiaw’s departure,”
