With the January transfer window quickly coming to an end, clubs are looking for every bit of help they can get to save their season. Bundesliga club, Hoffenheim have loaned out a pair of footballers to give the duo some first team minutes.
The first footballer loaned is 20 year old forward, Guilherme Biteco, and has been loaned to Brazilian second division outfit FC Santa Cruz for the remainder of the season. The Porto Alegre native has not been getting first team action since his arrival to Germany so this will be seen as a good move for everyone involved. Biteco will be in familiar surroundings and hopefully this will allow him to enjoy his football while getting valuable first team minutes.
Next, it is Jiloan Hamad and he will be playing football in Belgium for Standard Liege for the remainder of the season. The Sweden international was brought into the club in October of 2013 when he was signed on a free transfer. The deal was made official on the first day of 2014 when that window opened. However, Hamad has seen little playing time having played just 196 total first team minutes since his arival.
