The transfer fee for the 24-year-old French fullback is a modest 500,000 Euros despite his estimated market worth being ten times that amount.
Cozza's arrival will bolster the Bundesliga's second-best defensive unit, as Wolfsburg have only conceded 10 league goals this season, second only to league-leaders FC Bayern Munich.
He will provide much-needed depth at left-back following the departure of Jerome Roussillon.
"Nicolas is a player who has made great progress in recent years," commented Wolfsburg sporting director Marcel Schafer. "He has a good basic tactical understanding and is known for producing high-quality football, which he delivers on a consistent basis despite his young age.
"We're looking forward to having a versatile and promising player who will enhance our team," he added.
