  • On Wednesday, Bayer Leverkusen signed 16-year-old midfielder Kennet Eichhorn from Hertha Berlin, activating a contractual clause for a fee of just under 10 million euros .
  • Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes confirmed the club maintained contact with Eichhorn for a year, with prospects improving after coach Carles Martinez's appointment last week.
  • Born in Bernau, Eichhorn became Hertha's youngest professional, impressing over 17 appearances last season before an ankle injury and red card suspension limited his playtime.
  • Eichhorn signed a "long-term contract," stating on the club website he aims to "follow a similar path" of players developed into top professionals at Leverkusen.
  • The move marks the second time in two years Leverkusen signed a talent from Hertha; predecessor Ibrahim Maza now stars for Algeria at the Africa Cup.
