“We are delighted that we were able to sign Kelsey. He brings speed to our game, finds one-on-one solutions in attack, and fits very well into our coach’s playing philosophy. He also brings a fresh, positive attitude, which is also good for us,” Thiele said.
Owusu also expressed his excitement after sealing the move to Saarbrucken.
“I am very much looking forward to my new role at FCS. The talks with the management were very positive from the start and I immediately had the feeling that this step was exactly the right one for me,” he said.
