The German outfit have signed the Japanese Under-22 international for a one-year loan which will end with the next season.
Usami had a disappointing loan spell with Bayern Munich after joining them on loan last summer. The Bavarians had the option of signing the player on a permanent basis at the end of the season which they chose not to. The winger
had to return to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Japan-c2928 but Hoffenheim have come in and provided the youngster with another opportunity.
The Japanese made only three first team league appearances for Bayern Munich in his one-year stay at Allianz Arena. He played mostly for the reserved team and had limited chances to prove himself.
Hoffenheim manager, Markus Babbel, claimed that his side will now have more variety in attack with the inclusion of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gamba-Osaka-c39399
man will shine if given the opportunity.
The manager admitted that the Hoffenheim attack will be more versatile as the player has great pace and skill. He is looking forward to working with the attacker next season and is confident of an impressive performance from the
20-year old.
“We will be more variable in our attack thanks to Takashi Usami. He is ambitious, very agile and quick, and he is technically strong with a good shot on him. We are looking forward to having him here,” he was quoted as saying in
an interview.
Usami, on the other hand, expressed his delight on agreeing to join Hoffenheim. The winger stressed that he wants to prove himself in the Bundesliga and the club provide him with a great opportunity to play more games at the highest
level.
“I want to make the breakthrough in the Bundesliga and I can only do that if I am playing. I hope to earn chances to play at Hoffenheim and have the best possible success with the club,” he concluded.
Takashi Usami made a total of five appearances in all competitions for Bayern Munich last season, scoring one goal in the process. The player played 18 times for the reserve team and scored an impressive six goals.
