Carl Zeiss Jena under pressure: Who replaces the goal scorer Weinhauer?

Jena, Deutschland - In Jena, the signs are on change. Carl Zeiss Jena is currently looking around for a new offensive player because Erik Weinhauer, who was the team's top scorer with 20 goal participations this season, is moving to the Ore Mountains Aue. This step comes at a critical time for the club, because despite the best offensive in the league, it is not enough to climb the third division. The course for the future must now be set on the transfer market, and those responsible have already made an eye on possible newcomers.

Erik Weinhauer, who shone in the Regionalliga Northeast with 16 goals as a top scorer, took a crucial step in his career with his move to Aue. The 24-year-old striker convinced the playful development and the ambitions of Erzgebirge Aue. Matthias Heidrich, sports manager of the association, praises Weinhauer's flexibility and training intensity, and he particularly emphasizes the player's great anticipation of being part of the team. Weinhauer also addressed the lively atmosphere in the Erzgebirge Stadium and motivated him to take this step. Details on the contract term have not yet been known.

personnel changes on the offensive

Not only Weinhauer leaves Jena. Other players such as Cemal Sezer, Elias Löder and Ted Tattermusch may also be faced with a departure due to expiring contracts. Together, these three actors have already participated in 28 goals this season, which does not make the situation in Carl Zeiss' situation easier. A decision on the contract extensions of these players still seems to be canceled and is likely to be made soon.

Henry-Jon Crosthwaite from BFC Dynamo is traded as a possible successor for Weinhauer. The 22-year-old can be used flexibly on both wing positions and in the storm. This season Crosthwaite collected a total of three goal participations in 22 league games. He would be free of charge, which is quite attractive for the club in the current situation.

Nevertheless, it is crucial for Jena to set the course for the coming season as soon as possible in order to keep the offensive competitive. After all, there are other transfers in the house, and those responsible have a lot to make the squad planning optimally. The Jena fans can therefore be excited to see what the transfer market still has to offer.
