German first-division side Augsburg said Wednesday that it has acquired midfielder Masaya Okugawa on a three-year contract from Arminia Bielefeld, which dropped to the third division.
Okugawa scored eight goals for Bielefeld in its most recent campaign in the Bundesliga in 2021-22. He contributed five goals for the club in the second division last season.
"I want to show what I'm capable of during preseason and earn a spot in the starting lineup," the 27-year-old said in a statement.
Augsburg board member for sport Stefan Reuter praised the signing.
"Masaya Okugawa is a fast, nimble player with strong dribbling skills who can pose a threat in the final third and find creative solutions on the pitch," he said."
"He can play both as a number 10 and on both wings, and has consistently contributed both goals and assists in recent years."
