German born Ghanaian defender Gideon Jung
Hamburg Manager, Daniel Moustapha Thioune, has said he is delighted to have a player like Gideon Jung who can play in different positions.
The German born Ghanaian defender has excelled as a defender, but the 25-year old is growing into a formidable number six.
Despite his struggles in recent years with injuries, manager Daniel Thioune is happy to have the versatile player by his side.
“Central defender or on the six - I'm open and happy that he can play both. He is not a specialist, but someone who can be used flexibly. As a second six or in a chain of three, he is one who can certainly act well. I don't commit myself to that," said Thioune.
Jung made 24 appearances as Hamburg finished fourth in the Bundesliga II last season.
The Hamburg SV defender has represented Germany at youth level, but he is still eligible to play for Ghana, the country of his parents.
