English Premier League side Brentford have completed their first signing of the winter transfer window by agreeing a deal with Freiburg for the transfer of Kevin Schade according to multiple reports.
Schade will join the English team on a loan deal but an obligation to buy him for €20m was inserted in the deal, so it’s safe to say by next summer, the 21 year old will be a player of the team permanently.
Brentford are getting a player whom many see as a world beater in a few years time as he showed a lot of potential during his budding days but injuries haven’t been fair to him until this season. He has stamped his feet in the first team.
Eligible for Nigeria, former coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr approached him to play for Nigeria in 2021 but was told he wants to continue playing for Germany, where he has been a part of the youth set up from U18 to U21.
He also went on record to make his choice of national team clear when he was asked by OJB Sports on if he will consider a call up to the senior national team of Nigeria in October last year.
“No, I grew up in Germany, it’s difficult so I played every time for Germany, I think I want to play for Germany. I love Nigerian food, my best friend is Nigerian too and so every time his family comes, they bring family food from Nigeria. Spicy rice, first time it was very hard but now I’m good”, he told the YouTube channel of OJB Sports.
