The official website of the Bundesliga revealed, this Monday, May 15, the six players likely to win the title of best “Rookie” of the season. In this list is the Parisian Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe, winner of this same distinction for the months of October and November. The trophy rewards players under 23 playing their first season in the German championship.
Loaned with option to buy by PSG, which he should leave definitively in the coming weeks, the 22-year-old midfielder is having a very convincing first exercise across the Rhine. Appeared 26 times in all competitions (2 goals, 1 assist), the native of Stains could have played more without an ankle injury which kept him away from the field for more than two months at the start of the year. He has just qualified for the German Cup final between Frankfurt and Leipzig on Saturday June 3.
The other players nominated for the title of best rookie are Tom Krauss (Schalke 04), Karim Adeyemi (Dortmund), Henning Matriciani (Schalke 04), Matthijs de Ligt (Bayern Munich) and Lee Buchanan (Werder Bremen). The votes have already started and will be closed on Thursday, May 18, at midnight.
