Hellas Verona have officially signed Cameroon international midfielder Martin Hongla from Royal Antwerp FC.
The 23-year-old completed his medical and has put pen to paper on the contract.
A statement from the Serie A club confirmed this is initially a loan with option to buy, but that will become an obligation once certain conditions are met.
Hongla spent most of his career in Spain with Granada and the Barcelona B team, with a loan spell at Karpaty in Ukraine in 2019 before his €1.6m move to Royal Antwerp.
