With Tim Drexler, we have been able to sign a talented and promising player who, despite his young age, already possesses considerable experience. Another positive aspect is that Tim – primarily intended for central defence for us – can play in several positions in defence.

I'm very happy about the move to Salzburg, which is something quite special. The club has an excellent reputation, especially when it comes to developing young players. I know that they play an intense style of football here, and I want to settle in quickly, contribute with everything I have and help the team achieve its goals.
