LEIPZIG, Germany (AP) — Leipzig has brought Norway goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland back to the club as a replacement for Péter Gulácsi, who left to join Spanish team Villarreal.

Nyland, who previously played three games for Leipzig during the 2022-23 season, signed a two-year contract to return on a free transfer from Sevilla, Leipzig said Tuesday.

The 35-year-old Nyland, who impressed for Norway at the World Cup — saving a penalty from Bruno Guimarães to help the team beat Brazil 2-1 in the round of 16 — spent three seasons at Sevilla after one year in Leipzig.
