But he ended up signing for Bundesliga side, SpVgg Greuther Fürth. The youngster, who Chelsea sees as a possible replacement for departing Filipe Luis, signed for FC Augsburg in 2014, and has gone ahead to establish himself as a key starter in just his debut season for the club. He has made 27 appearances thus far. Enough to attract Real Madrid who sees him as a replacement too, for Fabio Coentrao.
