Ghana defender Kassim Nuhu excelled for TSG Hoffenheim as they annihilated Chievo Verona 5-0 in a pre-season friendly match on Saturday.

Goals from Kerem Demirbay, Pavel Kaderabek, Stefan Posch and a brace from Brazilian attacker Joelinton helped Alexander Rosen's outfit record a heavy against the Italian side.

The 22-year-old was replaced by Dutch left back Joshua Brenet in the 52nd minute.

Nuhu joined the Blue and White lads joined the side on a five-year deal from Swiss champions Young Boys last month.
