Ngankam reveals he has turned down interest from Union Berlin

Jessic Ngankam has revealed that he has turned down an approach from Union Berlin.
Hertha BSC attacker Jessic Ngankam has revealed that he rejected interest from local rivals Union Berlin.

In a YouTube conversation with former Hertha youth player Bilal Kamarieh, Ngankam reveals that he only briefly considered the interest from the Champions League participants.

"I knew there was interest, even for a while. But I never really thought about it. My father had mentioned it once in passing. There are always a lot of clubs calling or asking," said Ngankam.

"My advisor came and said, 'Wait a minute! Are you ready? Union Berlin want you'. Then he asked if that was an option for me. Then I was quiet and calm for three or four minutes. After five minutes I managed to answer. Then I said directly: "No, we're not doing that!"

Eintracht Frankfurt are also believed to be interested in the 22-year-old.
