Nacer Barazite has joined Austria Vienna on a free transfer from Arsenal. The Dutchman has signed a two and a half year contract with the Austrian outfit.
Barazite has been on loan with home town club Vitesse Arnhem since the start of the season, but has only been used sparingly by manager Albert Ferrer. He quit the Eredivise club in January but returned after they negotiated a second loan deal with Arsenal. However, the 20-year-old only played once more before joining Austria Vienna on trial.
Nacer scored two goals and made another one in a trial game against Dinamo Bucharest last week, and the Bundesliga club opened talks with Arsenal straight away. Arsène Wenger has allowed the winger to leave for free, and he signs a two and a half year deal with the option for a third in the clubs favour.
Barazite was also subject to a late offer from Red Bull Salzburg, but had already decided on Vienna.
