Hofmann has started the new campaign in impressive fashion, scoring his first goal for the club in the team s 2-1 win over Eintracht Braunschweig, as well as contributing two assists.
And he has been rewarded for that start with a contract that will see him stay at the Bundesliga runners-up until June 2018.
Speaking to the club s official website, Hofmann said: I ve always been nurtured by BVB, I made the step from the reserves to the first team and I …

The France international, who has started both of his country s games at the World Cup, endured a difficult season at Old Trafford, with Mourinho naming him as a substitute on a number of occasions towards the end of the campaign.

This year was a better season than last year as I was more decisive, he told a med…

But Rodgers, who joined Liverpool from Swansea City in 2012 and signed a new four-year deal on Merseyside last May, insists his head will not be turned.
That doesn t distract me, he said. I chose to come to Liverpool because I hoped I could be here for many years.
The speculation is just the nature of football I think.
I remember earlier this season playing Ludogorets away and as I walked off I saw a banner that said Rodgers Out , so I never get too carrie…
