FC Lugano have announced their third transfer of the summer break. The Ticino club has strengthened its defense with the signing of Joel Bichsel.
The 24-year-old from Olten joins from German third-division club Saarbrücken and signs a contract until 2029.
Bichsel, who trained at YB and has made appearances for the Swiss U21 national team, will play in central defense or at left-back.
Lugano signed two wingers in May, Colombian Beckham Castro and Honduran Dereck Moncada.
