Mönchengladbach (dpa) - Borussia Mönchengladbach has confirmed the commitment of the French midfield talent Kouadio Koné.

The 19-year-old changes immediately to the Bundesliga club, but will continue to play on loan for Toulouse FC in the French second division until the end of the season.

Koné signed a contract until 2025 and is expected to join Borussia in the summer.

The Gladbach company announced on Thursday.

The transfer fee is around 8.5 million euros.

"He is a great talent that various top clubs in Europe have tried and we are very happy that he has chosen Borussia Mönchengladbach and the Bundesliga," said Gladbach's sports director Max Eberl.

His club had previously signed 18-year-old right-back Joe Scally from New York City FC.
