Hoffenheim Sign Svenja Fölmli From Freiburg on Three-Year Deal

The move underscores her bet on development at a club she says fits her next step.

Overview

  • Hoffenheim said the Swiss forward will join this summer on a three-year contract after she triggered an exit clause at SC Freiburg.
  • Fölmli said TSG’s sporting plan and environment made it the right place for her next step and for using her attacking strengths.
  • Freiburg’s women’s chief Birgit Bauer-Schick said the departure hurts as Fölmli leaves after 67 competitive games for the club.
  • The 23-year-old twice tore an ACL during her Freiburg spell but returned to score seven goals in 18 league matches this season.
  • She has more than 30 caps for Switzerland, and German reports say she could help cover if TSG striker Selina Cerci departs, with Kicker linking Cerci to Arsenal.
