The Bundesliga is one of the best leagues in the world and I’m looking forward to playing for FCA,” said Irvin Cardona, who successfully underwent a medical in Augsburg on Tuesday.
“We’ve always emphasised that we’ll actively keep an eye on the market and bring quality into the squad whenever an opportunity arises.
