Schalke 04 have announced the loan of Michael Frey. The striker is to replace Sebastian Polter and could stay with S04 beyond the second half of the season.
Schalke 04 have officially announced Michael Frey’s commitment. The forward arrives on loan from Belgium, where he played for Royal Antwerp.
Under Mark van Bommel, Michael Frey had no future in Antwerp after a falling out over his dissatisfaction with a lack of appearances.
Schalke took advantage of this starting position. With the loan of Frey, the miners are reacting to the long-term absence of Sebastian Polter, who injured his cruciate ligament during the winter preparations. The Gelsenkircheners have secured a purchase option for the summer, which applies both in the event of relegation and in the event of relegation.
“We are very happy that we were able to sign Michael before the game against Frankfurt. After Sebastian Polter was injured, we had to react in the center of the attack. We clearly managed that with Michael, we have a great physical relationship with him robust and dynamic centre-forward, who will close the gap that has arisen on the offensive”, sports director Peter Knäbel puts a lot of trust in the new signing.
Thomas Reis described the strengths of his new attacker: “Michael has a good presence on the pitch and moves skillfully in the dangerous spaces. He’s disgusting for any defender to defend. That’s exactly what I want to see from the whole team. I’m pleased that we were able to gain an experienced player in Michael who will help us immediately.”
