The 19-year-old winger also sees great potential to establish himself at Bayer 04 through regular and convincing performances in Germany’s second division with Bochum. “I have gained an excellent impression of the club in recent weeks,” said Alfa-Ruprecht. “I want to establish myself here in the long term and am confident that I can prove myself through good performances at Bochum.”
