Eintracht Frankfurt sign Castaignos
Frankfurt: Striker Luc Castaignos has moved from Dutch football outfit Twente Enschede to Eintracht Frankfurt until 2018, the ‘Eagles’ have announced.
The 22-year-old inked a three-year deal which keeps him with the Bundesliga side until June 2018, as per reports.
“With Luc Castaignos we signed a versatile player for our offence. Despite several lucrative offers Luc decided to take the next step at Eintracht,” Frankfurt sporting director Bruno Huebner said on Tuesday.
The Dutch played, since 2012, for Twente Enschede to provide 37 goals in 97 appearances.
“For me the Bundesliga is one for Europe’s best leagues. I am glad that I can play at this high level here. I saw the season’s final against Leverkusen and I was immediately impressed with the atmosphere and the supporters in the stadium,” the new arrival said.
Frankfurt face Wolfsburg in their season opener for the 2015-2016 campaign on August 15.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
