Hannover 96, a two-time Bundesliga champion, has made an exciting signing for the upcoming season. The German-Nigerian full-back, Brooklyn Kevin Ezeh, has joined the team from SV Wehen Wiesbaden for a fee of around €800,000.
Despite being just 22 years old, Ezeh has already made a name for himself in the German football scene. Last season, he played for Viktoria Berlin in the 3. Liga and showcased his talent in 35 games, scoring two goals. His impressive performances have earned him a move to Hannover 96, a former Bundesliga champion.
Ezeh’s journey in football began in the youth ranks of Hamburg and Schalke 04. However, he decided to leave Schalke 04 due to uncertainties about breaking into the first team. Now, he has the opportunity to prove himself at Hannover 96 and continue his development as a player.
Hannover’s sporting director, Marcus Mann, expressed his delight at signing Ezeh, stating, “With Brooklyn, we have been able to convince and win over one of the most talented and sought-after players in the past third league season. He has an extremely good physique and a strong left foot.” Mann also highlighted Ezeh’s impressive performances in the relegation games.
Ezeh himself is thrilled to join the team and is looking forward to playing in the Heinz Von Heiden arena. He spoke highly of Hannover 96’s plans for him and expressed his eagerness to prove himself in a new league. He also mentioned that he has already heard positive things about his new teammates and can’t wait to get to know them better.
Born in Hamburg, Germany, Ezeh has Nigerian heritage but has yet to represent either nation at any level internationally. He will now have the opportunity to make a mark at Hannover 96 and help the team achieve their goals in the 2. Bundesliga. Hannover finished 10th last season and will be aiming for promotion.
Overall, the signing of Brooklyn Kevin Ezeh is an exciting addition to Hannover 96’s squad. With his talent and potential, he has the opportunity to make a significant impact on the team and contribute to their success in the upcoming season.
