Hoffenheim director of football, Alexander Rosen has hailed new signing Kasim Nuhu as an 'extraordinary athlete'.
The Ghana international joined the German side on a five-year deal from Swiss outfit Young Boys.
The 23year old has distinguished himself with his robust style of play and good technique at the team's pr-season camp.
And the club's sporting chief Alexander Rosen has been left hugely impressed.
"His physique is enormous, he is an extraordinary athlete and a great footballer," says Alexander Rosen, who drove the Ghanaian to Hoffenheim.
Nuhu, who played for Ghanaian top-flight side Medeama, joined the German outfit for a whopping transfer fee of €8 million.
The German side will pay an additional €2 million depending on the number of appearances the powerful defender makes in his first season with Hoffenheim.
