The VfL Wolfsburg midfielder has signed for FC Augsburg until the end of this season in an attempt to help the club avoid relegation.

finalize details previously.

his confidence with regular first team football.
Augsburg director, Andreas Rettig, showed gratitude to Wolfsburg bosses for allowing the Korean to spend the remainder of this campaign at the SGL arena. He expressed his delight on the youngster’s arrival at Augsburg, hoping that
the 22-year-old will achieve what is expected of him during this four-month period.
While talking to reporters in the wake of Cheol’s transfer, the Director further added:
"We are happy that the signing of Koo Ja-Cheol has worked. We were interested in signing the player some time ago, but it did not work out. Our special thanks to the management at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881, led by Felix Magath: without their
support, the transfer would not have been possible."
On the other hand, the midfielder also expressed his pleasure on his Augsburg move. He insisted that he would do his level best to help Augsburg survive relegation.
"I am glad that my move to Augsburg worked, and I will give everything so that FCA can celebrate their staying in the Bundesliga at the end of the season," The South Korean concluded.
