After an agreement was reached and all documents signed, Eric Martel has been announced as the latest recruit at Mainz. The midfielder leaves Cologne after completing all formalities. With the deal now official, attention turns to when the new signing will debut for his new club. With no other clubs strongly linked, Mainz were able to move quickly and secure the deal without distraction. With 1.27 goals scored per game this season, Mainz could use more imagination between the lines. Eric Martel would be expected to connect play and boost chance creation in advanced areas. Reports suggest Cologne are monitoring Salih Ozcan whereas Mainz have not been associated with other players at this stage. Want more transfer rumours like this?
