“I am delighted to welcome Leon to the club,” Brighton coach Chris Hughton told the club’s official website. “He will add more depth to our defensive options, and I am pleased to get our first piece of business done so early in the summer.
“He is in the peak years of his career and I am sure he will integrate well into the squad,” Hughton added. “He also has valuable experience, having played in the Bundesliga, the Europa League and at international level.”
