Former West Ham and Borussia Dortmund striker admits La Liga struggles – 'My profile doesn't necessarily fit'

Leganes' acquisition of Sebastien Haller was hailed as a top signing during the summer, although expectations have not been met so far. The on-loan Borussia Dortmund striker has played nine times this season, and has failed to get off the mark in the scoring department.

Speaking to Eurosport France (via Relevo), Haller opened up about the struggles at Leganes.

“My start of the season was full of obstacles and did not correspond to what I expected. But this is part of the ups and downs of a career and a life. Time will do its job. We have to be patient and keep working to be more efficient.

“I had discomfort with many small injuries. It was not muscle, but rather because of the blows I received. These encounters occur at times when I feel like returning to the best physical plan. It is happened twice before the national team matches. I've been in Leganes for three months and I still had to adapt.

“Today I play in a completely different team than the one I had played for the last three or four years (West Ham, Ajax and Dortmund). For me it is new to play further away from the goal and more on the attack. With a team that has, sometimes it's easier. And my profile is not necessarily suitable.”

There is still plenty of time for Haller to turn things around Leganesalthough he will be hoping his form picks up sooner rather than later.
