Dynamo Dresden Agree Loan for Heidenheim Defender Thomas Keller, Pending Medical

The 26-year-old is targeted to bolster a struggling back line during a wider January recruitment drive.

Overview

  • TAG24 reports Dynamo Dresden and 1. FC Heidenheim have reached agreement on a loan for Thomas Keller, subject to a successful medical.
  • Keller is expected to travel with Dresden to the Antalya training camp as early as Saturday, according to the report.
  • Heidenheim view the move as an opportunity for Keller to gain match practice and experience in a relegation battle in the second tier.
  • The center back has dealt with knee and ankle injuries this season and missed early 2024 with a cruciate ligament tear, though he owns 12 Bundesliga and 26 2. Bundesliga appearances.
  • Dresden are pursuing additional January signings, with defensive roles unsettled beyond regular Julian Pauli and with Lukas Boeder and Friedrich Müller yet to convince.
