Eight goals and four assists in 13 appearances in all competitions: striker Sébastien Haller has certainly made a big impact at Eintracht, becoming the spearhead of the team’s attack. The 23-year-old, who moved to Frankfurt from Utrecht in the summer, has now been recognised for his performances with the “Bundesliga Rookie Award by TAG Heuer”.
Following its successful debut last season, the Bundesliga is again awarding its top junior stars the “Bundesliga Rookie Award by TAG Heuer” in the 2017/18 season. In selecting the winners, the DFL (Deutsche Fußball Liga) and official Bundesliga partner TAG Heuer are now supported by Lothar Matthäus. The Bundesliga legend, seven-time German champion and captain of the 1990 World Cup team will be nominating his monthly “Top 3” from five candidates from different clubs selected on the basis of official match data (including goals, assists, tackling rate). The fans then vote for their favourite out of the trio chosen by Matthäus at www.rookie-award.com.
Haller, who was also nominated for September’s award, beat Ihlas Bebou of Hannover 96 and Benjamin Pavard of VfB Stuttgart in the latest vote.
