So the Hessians have the last chance to get a reasonable fee for these players in the coming summer. “It’s possible that one or the other will leave us.

As a peek into the TM rumor mill reveals, his performances have attracted interest not only from Newcastle but also from PSG, Arsenal and Tottenham.
