Wolfsburg - VfL Wolfsburg have opted to loan out forward Ibrahim Sissoko to Panathinaikos. The 20-year-old, who can also operate as a right-sided midfielder, has completed a medical examination and will initially join the Greek side on a year-long loan. Sissoko joined the Wolves from Portuguese outfit Academica de Coimbra during last season's winter transfer window and went on to make two Bundesliga appearances in the second half of last term. "Ibrahim Sissoko will hopefully gain match experience at a top European club," said Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath. "Panathinaikos finished as league runners-up in their most recent campaign and if he's able to establish himself then it will be a great step forward for him. In the long-term he'll strengthen VfL."
