Petersen rules out Cottbus exit

The 22-year-old has been linked with the likes of Hoffenheim and Blackburn Rovers.

“I’ve have had some concrete enquiries regarding a transfer,” he told BILD.

“One was from Hoffenheim, but I’m not even thinking about moving on just now.

“I’m actually aware that Energie are trying to work out a new and improved deal and I’ll be considering it. These discussions are at an advanced stage.

“I could be move abroad of course, but it would be a great thing to play for a top-flight team first. Why shouldn’t we manage to gain promotion with Energie to the Bundesliga?”
