Munich Aug 31 (IANS) RB Leipzig have roped in Slovenia international Kevin Kampl from Bundesliga rivals Bayer Leverkusen after Naby Keita signed for Liverpool.
The 26-year-old joined the Champions League club on a four-year deal.

According to an ESPNFC report on Thursday Kampl was previously linked with a transfer to Beijing Guoan earlier this summer but the transfer did not materialise.
Kampl played in 53 Bundesliga games for Leverkusen and a further 14 during his six months at Borussia Dortmund.
