US EditionMetz Goalkeeper Fischer Ready for Ligue 1, Three Years After Being a Substitute Teacher
MOSELLE, GRAND EST, AUG 9 – Fischer, a 23-year-old Dane, signed a four-year contract with Metz after a €3 million transfer from Fredrikstad, marking his rise from substitute teacher to professional goalkeeper.
- Jonathan Fischer, a 23-year-old Danish goalkeeper, signed a four-year contract with newly promoted French club Metz after impressing last season with Norwegian Fredrikstad.
- Metz acquired Fischer for approximately 3 million euros, equivalent to around $3.5 million, following his impressive displays and promising talent as a goalkeeper.
- Fischer, standing at 1.98 meters tall, compares in size to top goalkeepers—being slightly larger than PSG’s Donnarumma and just a bit smaller than Real Madrid’s Courtois—and highlights his agility on the goal line along with his skill in building play from defense.
- At his official presentation, Fischer revealed that just two years prior he was playing football part-time, and three years earlier he worked as a substitute teacher in Denmark. He also expressed his enjoyment of French cuisine, particularly the abundance of baguettes.
- Fischer is gearing up for his debut campaign in the French league with Metz, where he may have the opportunity to compete against Paris Saint-Germain, a prestigious team that recently won the Champions League—a prospect that once seemed unimaginable for him.
