German presenter has spirit (5)
I believe the answer is:
ghost
'spirit' is the definition.
(ghost is a kind of spirit)
'german presenter' is the wordplay.
'german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'presenter' becomes 'host' (I've seen this before).
'g'+'host'='GHOST'
'has' is the link.
(Other definitions for ghost that I've seen before include "Spirit, spectre" , "One's dying to" , "Write for another" , "Supernatural apparition" , "Spectre, wraith" .)
