"I found out about St Pauli and got very good feedback," he said.

"The conversations with the sporting director and coach also showed me that I have a great chance to play demanding football here.

"I’m looking forward to working together and would like to be on the pitch as soon as possible."

St Pauli head coach Fabian Hurzeler added: "Danel has a very good eye for the other players, seeks the direct duel with opponents, and moves skilfully in the gaps.

"In addition, he is a good standard shooter and robust in a duel, he can bring us ball conquests that are important for our game."
