Defensive talent pens deal until 2023.

VfL Wolfsburg have tied down another one of their young talents. Under-23 defender Jannis Lang has signed his first professional contract, keeping him at the club until summer 2023. The 18-year-old joined the Wolves‘ youth setup from Energie Cottbus in 2017 and has been part of the U23 squad, who play in the regional league, since the start of the current season.

The centre-back has also represented Germany at various age levels and made his debut for the under-19 national team on 3 September 2020 in a 1-1 draw with Poland.
