Ghanaian forward, Bernard Tekpetey has hinted on helping SC Paderborn to secure promotion to the German Bundesliga this season.

The 21-year-old has scored two goals in six appearances as Paderborn sit seventh on Bundesliga 2 table, three points adrift of the qualification mark.

Tekpetey joined Paderborn from Schalke04 during the summer.

"I knew this was a good place for young players," says Tekpetey. "This club is like a family."

"My dream is to go up in the Bundesliga with Paderborn."

His career is also closely followed by FC Schalke because the Royal Blues have secured a buyback option.
