• The 19-year-old is being recruited after Robert Kwasigroch’s departure and shoulder injuries to Marius Gersbeck and Tim Goller disrupted Hertha’s goalkeeper group.
• He is slated to back up first-team starter Tjark Ernst, with Dennis Smarsch also in the senior mix.
• BILD reports Hertha plan to start Heide with the U23s to gain match practice, with the aim of rebuilding form and competition.
• The former Germany U17 World Cup winner lost his starting role at Unterhaching last season and began the new Regionalliga campaign on the bench.
