Borussia Mönchengladbach announced on their official website on Tuesday that they have signed Sweden international striker Isac Lidberg from Darmstadt.

According to Gladbach's official statement, Lidberg has signed on a long-term four-year deal with the club which runs until the summer of 2030.

After completing his transfer procedures, Lidberg, who was interviewed by the Borussia Mönchengladbach official website, said: "When I first heard that Borussia was interested in me, I was immediately excited. It's a big club with a glorious history."

"I've followed the Bundesliga since I was a child, so I've always watched this team play; I especially remember players like Oscar Went and Juan Arango. Therefore, I decided to join almost effortlessly. I quickly realized I wanted to take this step. From the beginning, I felt everything was right."
