Plymouth sign FC Magdeburg forward Amaechi

Xavier Amaechi scored five goals in 25 league appearances for FC Magdeburg last season

Plymouth Argyle have signed forward Xavier Amaechi from second tier German side FC Magdeburg on a three-year deal.

The 24-year-old will join the Pilgrims on 1 July when his contract with the 2. Bundesliga team expires.

The former England Under-20 international spent the 2021-22 season on loan in League One with Bolton.

He is new Plymouth boss Tom Cleverley's first signing since being appointed last week.

"Xavier is a quick and exciting winger who will add further competition to our forward options," Cleverley told the club website.

"He has good European experience having played in Germany, and returns to England a more rounded player, but he is still young and has so much room for growth and development."
