Hoffenheim coach André Breitenreiter has spoken highly of Kasper Dolberg, saying the Danish international is exactly the player his team have been missing.

"We knew since the summer that we were still missing one component. Someone who has the right stature and can be a target player," Breitenreiter explained to Kicker.

"Apart from Munas Dabbur, we didn't have anyone who could secure balls with his back to goal. And we needed someone who has already proven that he can score goals. Kasper has great potential."

Dolberg has joined Hoffenheim on a six-month loan deal from OGC Nice. He spent the first half of the season on loan at Sevilla.
