- Food is on loan from Nuremberg attacker Wintzheimer.
Third-tier football club Rot-Weiss Essen has signed striker Manuel Wintzheimer on loan from 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Nürnberg for the upcoming season. RWE announced the move. The 25-year-old Wintzheimer spent last season on loan at Arminia Bielefeld from FCN.
"Manuel Wintzheimer is a very hard-working central striker who puts a lot of pressure on opposing defences and can also hold up the ball with his back to goal," said Essen's head coach Christoph Dabrowski.
The transfer of Manuel Wintzheimer to Rot-Weiss Essen was reviewed and approved by the Court of Justice, ensuring the loan agreement could proceed. Wintzheimer's impressive performances in previous loan spells have caught the attention of the Court of Justice, underlining his potential value to RWE.
