He used to own an Audi, but the car we see here is a Merc. We're not sure what prompted the swap.

This swiss centre-back is a master at reading the game. His anticipation at his age is astounding, for he plays with the maturity of a seasoned campaigner. Kingfisher, as he's fondly called, is a baller and can hit a pass. He's also a very disciplined defender capable of playing in any position at the back. A Zürich native, he joined FC Zürich's academy as a youngster. He played with FC Greifensee for a year prior to the move. FCZ gave him his first-team debut when he was only 17, and there has been no looking back for him since. Borussia Mönchengladbach had their eyes on him and snapped him up when an opportunity presented itself. He has since become an integral member of the squad. His positional play is sound, and The Foals have benefitted greatly. He has already made over 100 appearances for the Bundesliga team. Of late, he has cultivated an ability to chip in with a goal or two as well. Considering that he's just 23 now, the trajectory of his career looks exciting from here. He has played for the Swiss team as a youth player in the U17, U18, and U19 levels. He has been a full-time member of the senior squad since 2016. He was also a member of the Swiss squad that made it to the FIFA World Cup in 2018.
