Hansa Rostock's Max Christiansen has moved to FC Ingolstadt, it was confirmed today.

 

Christiansen, 18, has managed an impressive seventeen appearances for Hansa this season. A central midfielder by trade, be that in a holding role or in a slightly more advanced position, he's played eight games for Germany's under-19 side and scored once.

"With Max Christiansen, a highly talented player joins us, who can play multiple positions," said FCI sporting director Thomas Linke, who was pleased with the transfer. The deal is rumoured to have cost around €250,000 and Christiansen will sign a three year deal.

"I deliberately chose Ingolstadt for the long term, because the club has a great perspective and I am convinced that I can develop myself here brilliantly," commented Christiansen himself.

He joins a side in form, as Ingolstadt are currently comfortably top of the 2.Bundesliga by a sizeable seven points. They face Greuther Fürth on February 6th, when they return to action.
