Elmkies joins Admira Wacker on loan

Ilay Elmkies has joined Austrian top-flight club FC Flyeralarm Admira on loan until 30 June 2022. The 21-year-old midfielder still has a contract with TSG Hoffenheim keeping him at the club until the summer of 2023. The Israeli will be reunited in Mödling with his former national team coach Andreas Herzog, who was formerly a Bundesliga player at Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich.

Elmkies moved to TSG in 2015 and progressed through all the youth ranks, before putting pen to paper on a deal with the senior team in January 2020. The central midfielder made his senior debut for Hoffenheim in a 3-0 win over Hertha BSC in May 2020. In terms of international football, Elmkies has been playing for the Israel senior team since October 2019. Last season, the midfielder was on loan at Dutch top-flight club ADO Den Haag.
