Borussia Monchengladbach have moved fast to bring in a replacement for Yann Sommer after confirming the signing of Jonas Omlin from Montpellier.
Sommer s eight-and-a-half-year stint with Gladbach came to an end on Thursday when joining Bayern Munich for a fee reported to be in the region of €8million.
Gladbach have turned to fellow Switzerland international Omlin, who made 74 appearances for Montpellier after joining from Basel in August 2020.
The 29-year-old, who earned the most recent of his four Swiss caps last June, has signed a deal at Borussia-Park that runs through until July 2025.

We believe we have found a very good solution by signing Jonas Omlin, Gladbach sporting director Roland Virkus told the club s official website upon confirmation of the transfer.
He is a very reliable goalkeeper who exudes confidence, is strong on his line and is good with the ball at his feet.
Omlin appeared in 14 of Montpellier s 19 games this season, keeping three clean sheets.
