It had already been looming, and now the deal is official! Hannover 96 announced today the signing of Karl Steinmann. The talent joins on a one-season loan from SC Freiburg.
The 20-year-old primarily plays at right-back, but can also be deployed on the left.
"With Karl, we are adding a young, very well-trained defensive player to our squad. He has great potential, wants to prove himself with us, take the next step in his career, and will certainly further increase the competition for the wing-back positions. With this signing, we are filling an open spot on the right side of defence in our squad," 96 sporting director Ralf Becker is quoted as saying in the second-division club’s press release.
Steinmann was included in Freiburg’s matchday squad several times last season, but he did not make his competitive debut. Instead, he established himself in the Breisgau club’s Regionalliga team. He is now set to gain further experience in Hannover.
