Bruma Transfers to RB Leipzig from Galatasaray, Signs 5-Year Contract

RB Leipzig have completed the signing of Bruma from Galatasaray, it was confirmed on Wednesday.

The Bundesliga side announced via their official Twitter account that Bruma inked a five-year deal with the club. The winger's contract with his previous employers was set to expire at the end of the 2017-18 season.

Bruma has been in impressive form for the Turkish side this term and had been linked with plenty of clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and West Bromwich Albion, per A Bola (h/t Lucas Sposito of Sport Witness).

Here's a look at what the 22-year-old can offer:

The Portugal youth international was tipped for the top from a young age, having impressed coming through the youth system at Sporting CP.

Bruma made his debut for the senior side in 2013, although he was snapped up by Galatasaray in the same year. However, he initially failed to make an impact, and in the 2015-16 season he was sent on loan to Real Sociedad to get some minutes.

Although he was hit and miss in La Liga, the time on the pitch helped Bruma refine some areas of his game, and he started the 2016-17 campaign in the form of his life.

This term he's found some composure in the final third, with 11 goals and six assists in Super Lig play.

RB Leipzig head coach Ralph Hasenhuttl will be delighted to have got his man, but there's work to do for the coaching staff. Bruma has so many natural gifts and the capability to alter the course of a match in an instant. However, he'll need to work harder at Red Bull Arena than he has done in his career so far to improve and make significant contributions defensively.

Having looked like he may fail to live up to his potential, that challenge is something Bruma should relish as he seeks to become a better footballer. RB Leipzig supporters will hope his impressive recent development continues in their colours.
