And another new one!
Shortly before the end of the transfer window, Schalke strikes for the sixth time. So far: Moritz Jenz (23/FC Lorient), Tim Skarke (26/Union Berlin), Michael Frey (28/Royal Antwerpen), Jere Uronen (28/Stade Reims) and Niklas Tauer (21/FSV Mainz 05) – all of them by loan.

Defensive midfielder Eder Balanta (29) has also joined on loan from Club Brugge. According to BILD information, the Colombian already passed the medical check this morning.
▶︎ Who is Balanta? The Colombian international (9 appearances) has plenty of experience: he has played 47 times in Europe, and he has also won championships in Belgium, Argentina and Switzerland. In Belgium, he enjoys a reputation as a pit bull – known for fighting, biting and cards.
Sport boss Peter Knäbel (56) confirmed on Sunday that Royal Blue is actually still looking for an offensive force. Why was it now (first of all) a defensive? It is conceivable that Tauer’s muscle injury will be even more severe than feared. In addition, Balanta can also play in central defense and may represent an alternative to Maya Yoshida (34).

In addition, a “battle pig” may be exactly what Schalke needs: No team in the Bundesliga has a weaker duel ratio (46.66 percent).
