Sweden boss defends Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres against 'ignorant' critics
Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson has hit back at those who have been critical of Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres' recent form.
The 26-year-old German-born Ghanaian defender has signed for the Bundesliga side on a four-year deal.
Kohn is not a stranger to the German league having started his career at Hamburg before joining Bayern Munich. He has also played in the Netherlands with Willem II and spent part of last season on loan at Werder Bremen, where he made 30 appearances in all competitions.
After completing his move, the player told the Union website: "Union suit me, they're a club with attitude, a clear vision and great team spirit.
"I want to contribute my qualities on the wing, and I'm convinced that they will fit in well with the team's style of play."
Kohn added: "Now I'm excited about the team, the fans and the environment in Berlin and I'm really looking forward to getting to know everything there."
Union Director of Football Horst Heldt, meanwhile, welcomed the talented player to the club.
"Derrick brings pace, assertiveness and Bundesliga experience. We believe he can help our team right away, and he also fits in well with us in terms of character.
"With his flexibility and attacking instinct, he opens up additional options for us on the left side," he said.
