Heidenheim have announced that they have completed the signing of Sirlord Conteh from Paderborn to replace Eren Dinkci at the end of the season.
The price and length of Conteh’s deal are currently unknown. The 27-year-old will replace Dinkci whose loan expires at the end of the season, and he will join Freiburg for €5m in the summer. Conteh is one of the quickest players in the 2.Bundesliga and will add a different dynamic to the Heidenheim attack.
Heidenheim are looking to build upon a successful first season in the Bundesliga and the acquisition of Conteh adds to the arrivals of Julian Niehues and Luca Kerber who will both join from Kaiserslautern and Saarbrücken on free transfers in the summer.
But, Heidenheim will not stop there and have been linked with Leon Scienza of Ulm. The winger has eight goals and nine assists as he plays a key role in Ulm’s push for promotion to the 2.Bundesliga.
