Hoffenheim Sporting Chief Alexander Rosen Hails 'Extraordinary Athlete' Kasim Nuhu

Hoffenheim director of football Alexander Rosen has heaped praise on new signing Kasim Nuhu as an 'extraordinary athlete'.

The 23-year-old has joined the German side on a five-year deal from Swiss outfit Young Boys.

The Ghana international has distinguished himself with his robust style of play and good technique at the team's pr-season camp.

And the club's sporting chief Alexander Rosen has been left hugely impressed.

"His physique is enormous, he is an extraordinary athlete and a great footballer," says Alexander Rosen, who drove the Ghanaian to Hoffenheim.

Nuhu, who played for Ghanaian top-flight side Medeama, joined the German outfit for a whopping transfer fee of €8 million.

The German side will pay an additional €2 million depending on the number of appearances the powerful defender makes in his first season with Hoffenheim.
