“Even if I may have to take an intermediate step in the summer, my goal remains to play for FC Bundesliga,” the kicker indicated.

Managing Director Christian Keller (44) has his back: “Tim is currently in a very crucial phase of his development. He is highly talented, but also has various areas of development in order to make the final breakthrough to become a Bundesliga player.” They want to accompany him beyond the summer and “continue to encourage and challenge him”.
