1. FC Köln will sign Davie Selke. Many fans criticize the upcoming transfer. But Effzeh sees important advantages in the striker.
The fact that 1. FC Köln would like to have found the targeted storm reinforcement in Davie Selke does not exactly cause jubilation for both supporters of Effzeh. With the attacker from Hertha BSC, Effzeh has a clear plan in mind.
Davie Selke is not exactly known as a goalkeeper within the Bundesliga. Accordingly, many Cologne fans are surprised that their club would like to have identified the necessary improvement for the attack in him. The change should take place a few days after the turn of the year.
But Effzeh will not simply throw money out of the window and only rely on the principle of hope. The club’s management has certain ideas about how the 27-year-old should help.
Between Baumgart magic and striker profile: Effzeh sees that in Selke
Of the picture According to Steffen Baumgart, this should become an important piece of the puzzle. He’s got other players back on their feet who were written off elsewhere and had no support. Many a player has thrived again under him and some have achieved top performances.
Okay, so there is a little bit of hope. However, a legitimate hope, Baumgart is well known as a do-gooder.
In addition, they want to have identified the right striker profile in Selke: With his height of 1.94 meters and his running-intensive appearances, he should bring back the necessary power to the Cologne attack. So far, the offensive has been far too harmless, which is now also noticeable in the table.
The fact that he also has experience from over 200 Bundesliga games is also seen as an advantage. He is also considered the spokesman in most of his previous teams and someone who also brings a certain looseness with him. On the pitch, however, he is more of a ruffian than an innocent lamb. A character who could do well in the expected relegation battle.
