VfL Bochum capture Dortmund U-23 attacker Babis Drakas | OneFootball

VfL Bochum have officially announced the arrival of Babis Drakas who has joined on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund.

Last season the 23-year-old played for BVB's reserve team in the Regionalliga West, grabbing 6 goals and 10 assists in 31 games.

The attacking player has signed a contract with Bochum until 30 June 2029 and will wear the number 27 jersey.

“Babis can be deployed on both wings, thus increasing our flexibility on the flanks," said Simon Zoller, director of football at Bochum.

"He brings tremendous speed, a very direct style of play, and complements the existing player types perfectly.

"At the same time, we see further potential for development in him. At 23, he is at an age where he has already gained experience at the senior level.

“But he can certainly still make significant strides in his development," Zoller said of their seventh signing this summer.
