Published on: 30 January 2018

German-born Ghanaian defender Gideon Jung has been named in the Bundesliga Team of Week 20.

The 24-year-old emerged as the man-of-the-match in Hamburg SV's one all draw against RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena over the weekend after providing the assist for Filip Kostic's equalizer.

The versatile guardsman exploits earned him the man-of-the match accolade as coach Bernd Hollerbach's men picked a point against the high-flying Leipzig side.

Born in Düsseldorf to Ghanaian parents, the 23 year old has been capped five times for the Germany U 21 side but is still eligible for the Black Stars in future.
