Borussia Monchengladbach have completed the signing of Mamadou Doucoure from Paris Saint-Germain on a five-year deal.
Centre-back Doucoure was part of the France team that won the Under-17 European Championship in 2015.
He did not make a senior appearance for PSG but was named as a substitute once in 2015-16.
