Luca Wollschläger signs professional contract

Another talented attacking youngster from the Hertha academy has signed a long-term contract for the first team. On Monday, Luca Wollschläger penned a deal which will see him tied to the club until 2025. It comes as the next milestone for the centre-forward, having made his first couple of appearances for the first team last season. “"Luca has showed his talent, as well as a hunger for goals, game time and readiness to work hard,” sporting director Fredi Bobic said.  “We are delighted that he has chosen to stay at Hertha,” he added.

Reached the final of the Youth DFB-Pokal and made his Bundesliga debut last season

Wollschläger came to the capital in 2019 from Hansa Rostock. Starting with the U17s, the forward then progressed to the U19 side, as they reached the final of the Youth DFB-Pokal. The same season, the two-footed attacker was substituted on against Bielefeld and Mainz in the league, before starting in the first leg of the relegation playoff against Hamburg. Sandro Schwarz and his coaching staff selected him to take part in pre-season training with the first team ahead of this season. Now, the youngster will continue to aim for further appearances in the side, playing with the Hertha badge on his chest.
