Overview

• VfB confirmed the move on Sunday after Bouanani completed his medical and was presented by the club.
• The fee is reported at about €20 million including bonuses, ranking behind only Ermedin Demirovic and Deniz Undav in Stuttgart's recent spending.
• Sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth said Bouanani had been on their radar for a while and praised his flexibility and European competition experience.
• The signing is the club’s sixth of the window as Stuttgart adds forward options near the deadline and with Deniz Undav sidelined by a knee issue.
• The ex-Lille prospect made 70 appearances for Nice with five goals and seven assists and has five caps for Algeria.
