Düsseldorf hat das Dutzend vollgemacht. Ein Norweger soll der zwölfte Neuzugang der Fortuna werden.

Overview

  • The 25-year-old centre-back joins on loan from Cardiff City, and Fortuna hold a club option to buy.
  • Sport chief Klaus Allofs said Daland fits the defined profile to succeed Jamil Siebert after his transfer to Lecce.
  • Daland moved to Cardiff from Cercle Brugge last summer for €4.1 million and remains under contract there until 2028.
  • He made 23 appearances for Cardiff averaging 68 minutes, with injuries limiting his ability to fully establish himself.
  • Daland said the move should bring him closer to a first Norway senior cap, and BILD reported he was at the arena before the Karlsruher SC match.
