Freiburg have bolstered their squad for next signing after signing Norway international defender Vegar Eggen Hedenstad from Stabaek IF for an undisclosed fee.
The 21-year-old has appeared 15 times for Norway's Under 21s and recently made the step up into the senior squad, earning two caps so far this year.
The full-back successfully completed a medical at Freiburg on Tuesday and signed a contract with the Bundesliga club before joining them in their training camp in Schruns.
"With Vegar Eggen Hedenstad, we have found a player who can help us as a full-back," commented Freiburg's director of sport Dirk Dufner who brokered the deal.
"He is regarded as a major talent in Scandinavia with an outstanding amount of experience with 96 league appearances.
"Now he will get the chance to develop further with us in the Bundesliga."
