The Ghana international only moved to Gelsenkirchen in a €12 million deal a matter of weeks ago but has wasted little time in making an impact by scoring twice in his first three games.

He told Bild: We go out with a broad chestready for Bayern! I hope that I can claim victory in my duel with my brother Jerome.
Julian Draxler, who turned 20 on Friday, has set his own personal target for the weekend - getting one over on former S04 team-mate Manuel Neuer - who is yet to concede a goal against Schalke since moving to Bayern in 2011.
