Roland Virkus, Borussia's sports director, had already announced on December 8 that a talented youth player would be promoted to the professional squad. The secret was revealed on Tuesday: it is Swider, which has been playing in the foal stable since 2014 and scored impressive seven goals in 13 games for the U19 in the current DFB youth league season, according to the Kreiszeitung .

Head coach Gerardo Seoane is optimistic about the development of Swider and emphasizes that he sees great potential. "We are convinced that he can play an important role in six in the future, but we want to introduce it carefully and in small steps," said Seoane. Swider himself has great ambitions and dreams of continuing his career at Borussia. So he once rejected an offer from Fortuna Düsseldorf and was waiting to be discovered by the club of his dreams, the foals, like Bild reported.
