VfB Stuttgart have signed Hungary midfielder Tamás Hajnal on loan from Borussia Dortmund until the end of the season.
The 29-year-old, who has 37 caps for his country, has not made an appearance for the Bundesliga leaders this term. Hajnal's move will become permanent should Stuttgart avoid relegation. Bruno Labbadia's side are second from bottom of the German top flight, six points adrift of safety.
Stuttgart finished top of UEFA Europa League Group H and will play SL Benfica in the round of 32, with the first leg in Lisbon on 17 February and the return the following week at the VfB Arena.
