"Borja Iglesias with his football profile can fill the gap left by Victor's absence," said Bayer 04 sporting managing director Simon Rolfes. "He is physically strong, is good at winning the ball, is confident in moves, does not shirk any challenges and is good at finishing. He gives us a necessary option in attack to continue our successful season," said Rolfes.
The 1.87 metre tall Iglesias is looking forward to joining Bayer 04 Leverkusen: "It really is a fantastic challenge for me. The team is currently causing a stir in Spain with lots of people there watching the team that's making a really great impression," said the right-footed player who has scored 36 goals for Real Betis in three LaLiga campaigns. “I'm excited about the opportunity to be part of it and I will give my all for the success of this team."
