So far Ahn has played just 49 minutes in two substitute appearances for Duisburg, third from bottom of the Bundesliga, but manager Jurgen Kohler is confident the striker will be a success.

"At Metz Ahn played out of position," Kohler explained. "He is best playing as a second striker and I am sure he will score some important goals for us.

"He has impressed me with his athleticism."

With the World Cup finals beginning on June 9 Ahn will be keen to impress and have the chance to repeat his golden goal heroics four years on.
