Young Boys have confirmed the capture on loan of Kevin Mbabu.

The versatile defender can play on either side of the defence as well as at centre-half.

Many fans have been disappointed to see Rafa Benitez not give Mbabu a chance in the first team squad.

The 21 year old will spend the full season on loan at Young Boys but there is no confirmation from either club as to whether there is a permanent contract trigger clause involved in the deal.
