Defensive trio stick with Eintracht

Experienced defender
Keller and Eintracht chairman Volker Sparmann agreed the terms this weekend. The 32-year-old defender was a key figure in the club's promotion back to the German top flight in his first season at Eintracht following a move from 1. FC Köln.

Bindewald and Wiedener stay
Eintracht have also put pen to paper on one-year contracts for Keller's fellow defenders Bindewald – who will enter his 17th campaign at the club - and Wiedener, who arrived from SV Werder Bremen in 2001.

'All three have experience'
Sparmann said: "We know how valuable Jens Keller, Uwe Bindewald and Andree Wiedener are for the team. All three have experience in the top flight and the young players should benefit from them."

Duo to join
The chairman has also agreed a two-year contract with Albanian defender Geri Cipi, who will complete a transfer from Belgian side KAA Gent tomorrow. Meanwhile, Korean international striker Du-Ri Cha is likely to join from DSC Arminia Bielefeld on a three-year contact. The player's father, Bum-Kun Cha, played for Eintracht from 1979-83.
