Hochstätter: “Fits our transfer policy”

Shortly after completing the deal Fromlowitz had this to say: “I’m looking forward to the challenge. 96 made it clear how much they wanted me, and that was one of the reasons I signed here. It’s a chance for me to develop even further.” Director of football Christian Hochstätter sees the capture of the young goalkeeper as another building block in Hannover’s development. “This is exactly the kind of deal that Dieter Hecking and I want to have as part of our transfer policy at Hannover 96. In Florian we are getting another young player with a lot of potential.”
