Arthur theate

Stade Rennais FC: Arthur Theate has joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Rennes. The central defender is initially on loan until the end of the current season, and Frankfurt will have an option to buy the player upon the end of his loan.

The Belgian international was born in Liege, Belgium in 2000 and began his career in the youth ranks of the traditional club Standard and KRC Genk. At 20, he made his professional debut with the then Belgian first division club KV Oostende and immediately became a regular player.

“I had heard a lot of good things about Eintracht, the stadium and the fans. During the European Championships, I got a taste of the atmosphere here with Belgium. Finally, I was convinced by the discussions with those responsible around Markus Krosche. It is inspiring what the club has achieved in recent years and the ways in which it has celebrated success. That's exactly what I want: to perform, to win titles. The fans, the stadium, the perspective – it all fits together perfectly,” said Theate in a statement.
