His name is Nelson Weiper, he is only 20 years old and plays as a striker for Mainz 05 in the German Bundesliga. The talent, who is of Albanian origin from his mother, is making the Red and Black National Team dream.
The player, who stands out for his physique, since he is 1.91 meters tall, seems to be ready to consider playing for Albania. In fact, it all started with a post by his father, Klaus Weiper, who published a photo of Nelson with another player of Albanian-German origin, Brajan Gruda, calling them "Two Eagles".
The Football Federation is said to have initiated contacts with the striker, but also with his family, to understand if he wants to wear the red and black. So far, Nelson has defended the colors of Germany, moving from the 17 and 18-year-old representatives, to the 21-year-old team, where he was recently called up and played in the match against Spain.
Nelson Weiper has been part of the Mainz first team since 2022, where he has recorded 29 matches played and 4 goals scored. He has scored twice in this edition of the German football elite, against Hedeinhaim and Stuttgart.
For the physical characteristics he has, he would be the player that the National Team lacks in attack, to win duels in the air and to help the team to come out in offensive maneuvers. (A2 Televizion)
