VfB Stuttgart sporting director Sven Mislintat said, “Daxo has all the qualities a top-level centre-back needs. He’s athletically strong, is a good passer and has gained valuable experience domestically and at European level over the past few years. He knows the Bundesliga so won’t need long to integrate himself here with us. We’re very pleased that Daxo has decided to join us, and we welcome him warmly to VfB.”
Dan-Axel Zagadou said, “I’m very happy to be here. I’d like to thank those in charge at VfB for the faith they’ve shown in me. I’m really looking forward to being out on the pitch with my new team-mates soon.”
