Thomas Keller, 26, decided in the winter to join Dynamo Dresden on loan from Heidenheim, with the central defender signing a contract until the end of the season. Speaking from a training camp in Turkey, Keller explained his transfer. He said that while he was used in four of the last five first division matches, his playing time during the entire first half of the season and the second half of the previous season was not what he had wanted following his cruciate ligament tear. Keller stated that for him, it is important to get into a rhythm. He also said his advisor asked him if he could imagine the move, after which he spoke to Sören and the process unfolded. Keller added that the conversations were good and he had a very positive feeling.

Bild reports that Dynamo Dresden are in the process of signing 26-year-old centre-back Thomas Keller from Bundesliga club FC Heidenheim. This development appears to mean a potential transfer for defender Andi Hoti from 1. FC Magdeburg will not proceed.
