Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting – Winger – Schalke

In Germany, there is no debating the signing of the summer transfer period. Schalke snapped up Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting from Mainz for free, and he has since grown into an integral role in Gelsenkirchen. The highly touted Cameroonian forward has scored 40% of his team’s goals in the league, but must focus on bringing the same energy and determination to Europe where he has not been as prolific. In the next round Roberto Di Matteo’s men will face-off against Real Madrid. Schalke’s manager will look to a determined Choupo-Moting to make the difference. Speaking to AS.com, Choupo-Moting declared, ‘Madrid are not unbeatable. Everything and anything can happen and that’s why footbal is so special.’
