FC St. Pauli: Ricky-Jade Jones brings pace and explosiveness!

St Pauli, Deutschland - An exciting news for the fans of FC St. Pauli: Ricky-Jade Jones, the explosive striker, was presented as the latest access of the association. This is already the fourth newcomer at this summer transfer period, and the anticipation of his achievements is great. He changes free of charge from Peterborough United from the League One to Hamburg and, at the age of 22, brings a lot of talent and experience with him. Coach Alexander Blessin particularly emphasizes Jones's explosiveness and speed, which means that he can often only be stopped by fouls.

"He is dangerous and fits perfectly into the pressing and switching on the defensive," explains Blessin, making it clear why Jones represents a valuable addition to the team. With the departure of Johannes Eggestein, whose contract was not extended, St. Pauli urgently needs a new striker - and Jones comes at the right time. Eggestein scored three goals in the Bundesliga last season, which only underlines the need for a strong player on the offensive.

Jones himself is already looking forward to the new challenge that the Bundesliga offers him. "The atmosphere at FC St. Pauli immediately spoke to me," says the young striker enthusiastically. This is not just a nice phrase, because Blessin and sports director Andreas Bornemann agree that Jones can assert himself in the Bundesliga. Bornemann describes his new talent as experienced and powerful for his age and is convinced that Jones will also prevail here with pace, straightforwardness and resistance.

The offensive of St. Pauli was the weakest in the Bundesliga last season, which makes Jones's commitment all the more important. Carlo Boukhalfa, a midfielder, was also released without a contract, and nobody would not be happy about a new striker. In addition, St. Pauli has exercised the purchase option for Morgan Guilavogui of 3 million euros - another sign that the team is to be placed more in the coming season.

In the context of the current transfer period, it turns out that St. Pauli is not the only club that actively commits new players.

The transfer balance is now negative, which makes the area of ​​tension between income and expenditure clear: exits add up to 311, with income of around 699 million euros, while the expenditure is around 790 million euros. This shows that all clubs are intensively looking for talents to improve their squads.
