The club director announcing the move on the club's website said:
"With Breel Embolo we have gained a highly-talented attacker coveted by many top European clubs, who already has a lot of international experience."
In a video posted by the club on Twitter, the player said:
"Hello fans. I'm Breel Embolo and I'm happy to be a Royal Blue.
"I'm still away at the European Championship at the moment but I'm looking forward to the challenge ahead and playing for you guys, the fans. See you soon!"
His Swiss side crashed out of the European Championship on Saturday on penalties, losing to Poland.
