Özcan signs new deal with Bayer 04
Bayer 04 have opted for experience for the position of back-up goalkeeper. The club have agreed a one-year contract extension to 30 June 2020 with the 34-year-old Ramazan Özcan.
"Over the last two and a half years, Ramazan Özcan has completely met expectations thanks to his impressive performances. As the stalwart amongst the keepers he has provided outstanding support first to Bernd Leno, and now to Lukas Hradecky, as our number one goalkeepers," declared sporting director Simon Rolfes.
For the former Austria international, the contract extension means "confirmation of my performance levels and the decision I made to sign for Leverkusen. I'm very happy to be able to stay at this great club and continue alongside the lads," said Özcan. "Our team is young and hungry. It's a great challenge for me to be able to help them out with my experience."

Werkself review: ‘We lacked the clinical edge’
“As far as mentality and determination are concerned, we have nothing to reproach ourselves for,” Robert Andrich said up after the first home defeat for the Werkself this term.
