Overview
- 1. FC Magdeburg completed a deadline-day deal to sign 26-year-old Richmond Tachie from 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
- After missing Tuesday’s midday session, he arrived at the Avnet Arena later that day and is slated for a first training on Wednesday.
- Sporting director Otmar Schork says Tachie can help right away and play across the front line, with his exact role and a possible start in Fürth still to be determined.
- Tachie saw limited minutes at Kaiserslautern this season and logged two goals and one assist in 16 games on loan at Eintracht Braunschweig last spring, having earlier 2. Bundesliga experience with Paderborn.
- Magdeburg closed the window with several exits as Andi Hoti moved to Eintracht Braunschweig (fee reported around €250,000) and Kandet Diawara joined Troyes, while separate media speculation links Ado Onaiwu with a potential move to Japan.
