Defender Compper extends contract with Leipzig


Berlin, May 22 (IANS): German football international Marvin Compper has put pen to paper on a two-year extension, which keeps him with RB Leipzig until June 2019, the Bundesliga runner up confirmed in an official statement.

"I feel very good with the club and I am very happy that my performances have been honoured. I am delighted, and proud to stay here for another two years," Compper said on Sunday, reports Xinhua news agency.

The 31-year-old centre back joined Leipzig from Italian outfit Fiorentina in summer 2014. He scored, since his arrival, three goals in 50 appearances.
