The 19-year-old, who featured in his country’s UEFA EURO 2016 penalty shoot-out defeat to Poland on Saturday, has signed a five-year deal in Gelsenkirchen.
Rated as one of Europe’s most promising players, the Cameroon-born Embolo made his first-team debut in March 2014.

“In Breel Embolo, we have secured a highly-talented striker who was wanted by a number of top European clubs and who has already accumulated a lot of international experience,” Heidel said in a statement on Schalke’s official website.
