VfL Wolfsburg have captured one of the most talented midfielders around, as they confirmed Sara Gunnarsdóttir would be joining the Lower Saxony side.

Gunnarsdóttir - who currently plays for Swedish giants, FC Rosengard - has her contract expiring at the end of June and will link up with the Wolves afterwards.

The 25-year-old has penned a two-year deal with Wolfsburg, and adds to an already star-studded midfield.

A superb move

Lena Goessling, Elise Bussaglia and Vanessa Bernauer are the usual trio in the Wolfsburg engine room, and to add Gunnarsdóttir makes for a frightening quartet.

The Icelandic star has made nearly 90 appearances for the national team, notching up a steady 17 goals in the process.

Her return at Rosengard is even better, scoring 22 times in a little over 50 outings.

She has won the Damallsvenskan in all but one of her seasons at the club, whom she joined in 2011, as well as two Swedish Supercups.

She added, "The aim is to win titles and I want to give my best and be a part of that to achieve this."

Gunnarsdóttir went on to describe the move as an "opportunity" to "always get better" and "the perfect step" in her career.
