New goalkeeper for FSV

After goalkeeper Timo Haböck left the club for personal reasons, FSV Frankfurt has been active on the transfer market again and has signed Niklas Julian Linke. The 22-year-old keeper joins from SV Eintracht Trier, who were promoted to the regional league and for whom the Düsseldorf native played 27 competitive matches last season, 15 of which were clean sheets. Other stations in his career have included Austrian second division club FC Horn, Union Nettetal and VfB Homberg. Niklas Linke, who has both German and Finnish citizenship, enjoyed his footballing education at BV 04 Düsseldorf and 1.FC Mönchengladbach, among others. Linke was also a member of the Finnish U19 national team.

Niklas Linke: “I’m delighted to be playing for FSV Frankfurt this season, to be part of the team and I’m fully motivated to tackle the tasks ahead.”

Tim Görner, Head Coach FSV Frankfurt: “Niklas is a goalkeeper with great potential who has already integrated very well into the goalkeeping team in his first few days. With him, we complete the high-performance, up-and-coming team centred around goalkeeping coach Christoph Gerigk and the two keepers Justin Ospelt and Henry Bremer. Niklas proved his ability in Trier last season and has all the prerequisites for his next step in the regional league.”

Robert Lempka, Managing Director of FSV Frankfurt: “With Niklas, we have been able to attract another young and talented player to FSV, who is an excellent fit for us both as a player and as a person.”
