Schalke technical director confirmed players like Tekpetey were better off on loan to continue their development.
"For players who are young and on the threshold, we check whether Schalke 04 is the best platform on which to develop." Should not be the case , You have to think about something else.”
"This is true for all young players who are brought to it. In the end, we are interested in the fact that everyone is developing so much that they are a constant cadre member, "adds Schuster.
