"Mario is a striker of international class, who, aside from his playing qualities, also brings an immense amount of experience to our team..

As an ambitious player, he fits in here perfectly."

Coach Dieter Hecking also had warm words for his new recruit: "Mario is the best German striker in my opinion. His success and goal-tally speaks for itself. In addition, he possesses leadership qualities and has a clear vision, which is congruent with our own.
