Your support makes all the difference.The German Bundesliga side 1860 Munich have signed the Ghanaian striker Abedi Pele on a free transfer from Torino in an attempt to solve a forward crisis.
Pele, 33, a member of Olympique Marseille's 1993 European Cup winning team, is intended to replace 1860's top striker Olaf Bodden, who is sidelined with a viral infection.
"We want him to do what he does best," said the 1860 trainer, Werner Lorant. "He can dribble, stay on the ball, he's quick, he has a good eye and he can pass. He can set up goals and he can score them."
