Second-division side VfL Wolfsburg has signed Swedish World Cup player Alexander Bernhardsson as another attacking option.

As the Bundesliga-relegated club announced on Tuesday, the 27-year-old arrives from league rivals Holstein Kiel to join the Wolves. The winger, who started in all three of his country's World Cup group matches, signed a contract through 2029.

VfL sporting director Pirmin Schwegler stated that Alexander is offensively flexible and brings promising qualities with his pace, strong acceleration, and mobility. Schwegler particularly emphasized Bernhardsson's strength as a provider of assists.

Bernhardsson joined Kiel from IF Elfsborg in 2024. At Kiel, he made 57 competitive appearances, contributing 15 goals and 14 assists. With the Swedish national team, he reached the round of 16 at the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
