The game of contract poker is now over. - Arminia signs goalkeeper Kersken.
Him being released from duty against 1860 Munich doesn't affect HE.
It's due to the disastrous season that Bielefeld ended with relegation that the team owes its success to Jonas Kersken (23), a goalkeeper on loan from Borussia Mönchengladbach. Kersken has shown himself to be the strongest player in the squad. Their latest move was to sign their remarkable goalkeeper permanently.
Michael Mutzel, sporting director of Bielefeld, expressed contentment, stating, "We've successfully acquired a highly talented young goalkeeper whose performance has been remarkable in his first season here. We wanted Kersken to remain a crucial player and a foundation block in the team. We thank Gladbach for the beneficial discussion and agreement."
Kersken himself seemed relieved, "I was certain from the start that I wanted to stay at Arminia. I'm thrilled we've reached an agreement."
Kersken earned a spot as the primary goalkeeper in Bielefeld this season, playing all 37 league games. He'll only be on the sidelines during the last mandatory match against "Munich Lions" (Saturday, 2 pm). His understudy, Leo Oppermann (20), will be the one between the posts. Kniat (38): "In my opinion, he's done an incredible job as a stand-in goalkeeper, especially with his rigorous training performances."
Bielefeld is aware that strengthening their squad is necessary after this tumultuous season. Their first signing is Stefano Russo (23) from league contenders Viktoria Köln. Mutzel: "He's a defensive midfielder with great game understanding and aggressive against the ball. Stefano's expertise will be valuable in our squad."
