Nadiem Amiri - Face of the flight of fancy

Nadiem Amiri is currently lifting Mainz 05 into new spheres. The 28-year-old's parents came to Germany as Afghan refugees. Born in Ludwigshafen, Amiri has made an impressive rise in Germany. After early successes at TSG Hoffenheim, including appearances in the Bundesliga and Champions League, the first dip followed after five years in Leverkusen. Amiri confidently chooses the Mainz option in the 2023/24 winter break. The midfielder really blossomed under coach Bo Henriksen and led the Rheinhessen side to the Champions League places. It should only be a matter of time before he makes his talents available to Julian Nagelsmann and the national team.
