Carella, Samuele
+ FC Viktoria Köln
Samuele Carella has been playing for Viktoria Köln since the U8s and the 18-year-old midfielder has now signed his first professional contract with the third division club. He made his first appearance in the third division squad in Cologne’s 2-0 win over Sandhausen at the end of December, and the home-grown talent has made appearances in the national cup so far. “He’s the next player from our NLZ in a long list to make it,” said interim coordinator Till Mester, delighted with Carella’s signing. “We will now work hard to ensure that he establishes himself in our first team. “
