Frankfurt am Main – In the autumn almost sorted out, meanwhile indispensable: Erik Durm has taken a surprising development and convinced the decision-makers of Eintracht Frankfurt.
The relationship between Eintracht Frankfurt and Erik Durm was no longer a good star for a long time.
Last season, the right-wing defender was replaced only once after the relaunch in May, and in the current season, the 2014 World Champion was not even in the squad in September and October. However, a change to Italy did not come about, according to information, the view was already focused on the winter transfer window.
Hütter sees Durm in a completely new situation
Meanwhile, the signs are completely different. Only the post prevented the first Bundesliga goal after almost four years at his good performance in Augsburg, on 2 March 2016 he was still cheering in Borussia Dortmund’s jersey.
Durm was also unlucky that Filip Kostic could not exploit a dimensional flank. “Erik’s situation has changed completely because he has performed well in recent weeks. I can imagine that this fits together well beyond the summer, “said coach Adi Hütter, looking ahead to Durm’s future.
Even before the match at the FCA, the Austrian explained why the former international could convince him: “While Almamy Touré did not keep up the standard after very good performances, Erik was able to confirm his good approaches. He has quality and now also the necessary self-confidence.”
