Eigler on transfer to Nuremburg

It took more than six weeks of negotiations with Arminia Bielefeld, but now 1. FC Nürnberg have who they wanted: Christian Eigler. The 24-year-old wants to "score as many goals as possible". FCN can use that after just 35 goals last season. It's a return move for Eigler who already played for Nuremberg's youth teams before temporarily quitting football for a few months when he was with the Under-15s. Moves to SV Unterreichenbach, four years in Fürth and two in Bielefeld followed, now he is back. He faces a lot of competition up front with Robert Vittek and Angelos Charisteas, but that doesn't bother Eigler.
