“Those in charge at Freiburg approached me pretty early on and made me feel good from the start. I already knew then that I wanted to go down this path,” Erin Dinkçi said.

“I believe I’ve just got a flow and I’d like to take this with me to Freiburg. I’ve played here with Werder previously and things went well at the ground. I’m really looking forward to this atmosphere.”

Freiburg sporting director Klemens Hartenbach describes Dinkci as a player with “a really exciting and flexible profile”.

“This is reflected in qualities such as pace and a good understanding of the game, as well as his shooting quality,” he said, adding:

“We’ve known about him since his time with U19s at Werder and we now want to work together on turning him into an even more complete player.

“It’s actually his first Bundesliga season as a first-team regular, so there’s still real potential to be unlocked. We’re really pleased that Eren has chosen to sign for us and that we’re able to approach next season with him on board.”

According to reports, Freiburg have triggered a €5 million release clause in Dinkci’s contract.

The young striker has impressed for Heidenheim this season, racking up nine goals and five assists in 27 matches.
