Schalke 04 monitoring Nolan Roux and Etienne Capoue – Bundesliga News
Bundesliga side, Schalke 04, have reportedly shown interest in the striker, Nolan Roux, and midfielder, Etienne Capoue. Nolan plays for the French Ligue 1 club, Stade Brestois, while Capoue serves http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toulouse-FC-c40751. Schalke officials revealed that the club desperately
wants to recruit some new and fresh faces into the club in order to bolster their squad for the upcoming 2011/12 campaign.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 was recently sold to another Bundesliga outfit, Bayern
Munich. The club has vowed to benefit from that transfer cash and therefore fixed their focus on the two youngsters.
Apart from Roux and Capoue, Schalke have also expressed desire to sign the veteran goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ralf-c30492 Fahrmann. Manager Ralf Rangnick, on the other hand, believes that the striker could ease the club’s striking
woes following an unimpressive tenure of the former AC Milan striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652, will once again be an automatic selection in the forward’s position from the upcoming 2011/12 campaign.
The 23-year-old Roux joined the Ligue 1 outfit in 2009 after spending a few years with Lens. He spent most of his youth career at Lens and managed only a single League appearance during his one-year stay. Since joining Brest, the striker has netted in 21
goals from 53 League appearances but he is yet to appear for the French national side.
Capoue, on the other hand, started his senior professional career with Toulouse in 2007 and has made 100 league appearances since then, scoring two goals in process. The defender is also yet to play for the French national side but has represented the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899
U18, U19 and U21 units.
Rangnick concluded by saying that the club would, for sure, recruit new faces into their line-up in order to get themselves back on the winning ways.
