On the last day of the transfer window, VfB Stuttgart is particularly important. Anne Hilt and Jens Walbrodt from the team of the “Bundesliga Update” podcasts see for a striker and at least one offensive midfielder at VfB. With Badredine Bouanani, reinforcement for the outer lane and the offensive center has already been hired.
“After the injury of Deniz Undav, the need is great for the striker position,” says Anne Hilt in the current episode of the Bundesliga update. With Ermedin Demirovic, only one center forward in the VfB squad is ready for use. Deniz Undav contracted a knee injury against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday and fails for around 6 weeks.
Woltemade change tears big gap
Jens Walbrodt also sees the need in the 10 position. “Since the departure of Serhou Guirassy, VfB has often had difficulty creating dangerous situations through the center. There is still a need for reinforcement”. The departure from Nick Woltemade to Newcastle has created a need to act in both positions, strikers and 10.
