Bayer Leverkusen have signed Greek defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos from Bundesliga rivals Schalke on loan until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old, who was once a target of Liverpool, has missed much of the past two seasons due to injury, but he now hopes to kick-start his career after at the BayArena.
"I'm really pleased this transfer's worked out," said Papadopoulos on his new club's website.
