Kerschbaumer moves to Germany on loan

Brentford midfielder Konstantin Kerschbaumer has joined German second-tier side DSC Arminia Bielefelda on a season-long loan.

Kerschbaumer, who turns 25 this week, moved to Griffin Park from FC Admira Wacker Mödling for an undisclosed fee two years ago.

The Bees have inserted a clause in his contract, which expires in 2019, giving the club the option of extending it to 2020.

A similar deal led to Brentford recently extending Jota’s contract by a year.
