Bayer Leverkusen manager Erik ten Hag has delivered a rave review of new signing Claudio Echeverri, describing the young Argentine as a player who arrived "with a natural talent for the game."
Ten Hag confirmed Echeverri has joined the Bundesliga side on a season-long loan from Premier League champions Manchester City. The manager expressed significant excitement about integrating the highly-rated youngster into his squad.
"We see tremendous potential in Claudio," Ten Hag stated. "He possesses an innate understanding and comfort with the ball that you cannot teach. We believe he can be a cornerstone as we build a new era here at Leverkusen."
Significantly, Ten Hag strongly suggested the 18-year-old attacking midfielder is already in contention for a starting role. "He's settled quickly and impressed in training," the Dutch coach added, hinting that Echeverri could feature in Leverkusen's match this coming Saturday.
This immediate potential involvement underscores Leverkusen's faith in Echeverri's ability to make an immediate impact in the Bundesliga following his high-profile move from the Etihad Stadium.
