FC Augsburg before signing Arne Engels – option for a weak offensive

Option for the wings

With 18 goals, FC Augsburg has one of the weakest offensives in the Bundesliga season so far, only bottom Schalke 04 (13) and VfL Bochum (14) had less reason to celebrate. In the forthcoming winter transfer window, the Fuggerstädter therefore seem to be adding personnel.

A report of “Augsburg General” According to FCA, Arne Engels is about to be signed. The 19-year-old Belgian is under contract with Club NXT, Club Brugge’s youth academy, and attracted attention this year in Belgium’s second division. The right-hand midfielder was directly involved in eight goals in 15 games, and he also set up two goals in five appearances in the Youth League.

The jump to the professionals who have reached the round of 16 in the Champions League seems too early at the moment. Since the contract expires at the end of the season, Engels has to make a decision about his future – and this is apparently in favor of Augsburg. The transfer, which is expected to involve a small fee this winter, is nearing completion, according to the report.

Towards the end of the first half of the season, the actual left winger Rubén Vargas (24) and the center forwards Ermedin Demirovic (24) and Florian Niederlechner (32) shared the position.
