SpVgg Greuther Fürth pick up Bochum, Hoffenheim, and Kaiserslautern professionals on loan | OneFootball

Two Bundesliga professionals and one German second division attacker have joined Greuther Fürth on loan in the last 24 hours. The Middle Franconians completed a quick “transfer hat trick” by acquiring Bochum defender Noah Loosli, Hoffenheim prospect Joshua Quarshie, and Kaiserslautern attacker Jannik Mause. Fürth have also acquired Union Berlin keeper Lennart Grill and former Mainz attacker Marlon Mustapha on loan during this especially busy January transfer window.

Loosli and Quarshie are both central defenders. The 28-year-old Loosli brings with him the experience of ten Bundesliga appearances while the 20-year-old Quarshie has appeared just once for the TSG senior side. Quarshie nevertheless exhibited great potential in 22 appearances for country at the Germany U20 level and below. The Duisburg-native recently made 13 2. Bundesliga appearances in back-to-back loan stints with Fortuna Düsseldorf.

Loosli joined Bochum from Grasshopper club Zürich in January 2023. He ended up making all ten of his top flight appearances under VfL trainer Thomas Letsch’s head-coaching regime last year. Neither Heiko Butscher, Peter Zeidler, nor Dieter Hecking saw fit to use him after a poor start against Leipzig on match-day 24 last year. The Swiss youth international remains under contact with Bochum until 2026.

Mause joined Kaiserslautern this summer from 3. Liga outfit FC Ingolstadt 04. Expectations were high for the 26-year-old, who led the German third division in scoring last year. Mause unfortunately failed to score a single goal for the Pfälzer Red Devils. Lautern thus procured both Borussia Mönchendladbach’s Grant-Leon Ranos and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Faride Alidou to replace him.

“As a central defender, he has a lot of quality in building up play and thus increases our flexibility,” SpVgg sporting director Stephan Fürstner said of Loosli. “In our conversations, he quickly made it clear that he is really keen to take responsibility here.“

“[Jannik] is a very robust striker who works extremely hard with and against the ball,” Fürstner added of Mause. “He proved last season that he knows how to score goals and we are now hoping for exactly the same goal-scoring threat from him.”
