The 28-year-old has just helped Schalke to second place in the Bundesliga, earning them an automatic spot in the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League. He scored three league goals in 23 games this season, but also made eight assists for team-mates. It was his third campaign at Schalke, having spent the previous three seasons at 1.
