Defensive worries on deadline day

VfB Stuttgart may have to be without Dan-Axel Zagadou for a long time and only have a few hours left to find a replacement for the defense on deadline day. In England they are said to have found what they were looking for at Everton FC. An offer for a candidate from Brest is said to have been rejected.

In the case of Zagadou, who was injured in VfB training on Wednesday, the “kicker” speaks of a possible torn cruciate ligament, which would end Zagadou’s season. A possible replacement transfer could be Mason Holgate, who has been discussed in the TM rumor mill since Wednesday evening.

On Thursday morning, the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten” reported that the Swabians are seeking a loan until the end of the season for the 27-year-old Everton professional, who is currently on loan to FC Southampton in the second division. To do this, the loan to the Saints would have to be ended or Holgate would have to be loaned out. The former junior international hardly gets a chance on the English south coast, only made four starting eleven appearances and hasn’t played a minute since mid-November.

Another solution would be Lilian Brassier, who VfB is said to have had on the list for a long time. According to the French newspaper “L’Équipe”, a proposal from Stuttgart has now been rejected by Stade Brest. The Stuttgart team wanted to let the 24-year-old defender cost up to 8 million euros with a possible purchase obligation. This is “far from” what Brest wanted. However, it cannot be ruled out that the Bundesliga club will try with another offer.
