Hertha Berlin's No 25 Named In German Bundesliga Team Of The Month

Nigerian Federation target Jordan Torunarigha was outstanding for Hertha Berlin in the month of January 2020 and has been rewarded with a spot in Whoscored's Bundesliga Team of the Month.

The Hertha Berlin number 25 forced his way into his team's starting line-up last month, going the distance in all the three matches they contested against Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg and Schalke, and helped goalkeeper Rune Jarstein to keep a clean sheet in the latest league match.

Torunarigha found game time hard to come by in the first half of the season, logging only 91 minutes from a possible 1,530, so much so that he was linked with a departure from Hertha Berlin in the January transfer window.

In a 4-4-2 formation, the former Germany youth international was partnered in central defence by Germany's World Cup winner Mats Hummels.

Torunarigha, who had a rating of 7.55, was the only Hertha Berlin player selected in the Team of the Week.

The 22-year-old has scored two goals in eight appearances across all competitions for Hertha Berlin's first team this season.
