PSG: Thilo Kehrer gives the main reason for his departure

Recruited under the mandate of Thomas Tuchel, Thilo Kehrer left the capital to join West Ham during the summer. The 2022 World Cup deadline played a big role in making this decision.

With 128 appearances (4 goals and 2 assists) during his time in the capital between 2018 and 2022, Thilo Kehrer unfortunately never established himself as an indisputable starter. During last season, the German defender only had 16 starts, a correct total but insufficient in his eyes.
This lack of playing time therefore prompted the 26-year-old to pack his bags and join West Ham United. “For the World Cup, it was important to play a lot,” explained the latter at a press conference.
This choice seems rather profitable since the defender plays regularly with the London club (5 starts in 7 seven days of the championship). He is also one of the 24 players chosen by Hans Dieter Flick to face Hungary and England.
