Leverkusen were in the market for more creativity after the sale of Florian Wirtz to Liverpool in a club-record deal.

Bayer Leverkusen have completed the signing of Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah in a £35million deal. The Bundesliga side will pay £30million up front for the 22-year-old centre-back, who started last season alongside Virgil van Dijk against Ipswich but was substituted at half-time and never regained his regular starting place.
