Dan-Axel Zagadou’s contract with BVB was not renewed in the summer, and the injury-prone defender has been without a club since then. In the meantime, there were many indications of a new adventure abroad for the Frenchman, but now the turnaround: According to a report, the 23-year-old is joining another Bundesliga club.
Only recently it was said that Dan-Axel Zagadou would most likely continue his career in the English Premier League. West Ham United were considered interested there.
As “Bild” revealed on Saturday evening, a move to the island is no longer an issue: According to information from the tabloid, the defender will soon be presented as a newcomer to VfB Stuttgart.
Noisy “table football“The obligatory medical check should take place on Sunday.
The deal is also possible after the end of the transfer period because Zagadou is currently not under contract with any club. However, a bonus is likely to be due.
After BVB: Zagadou should stabilize the VfB defense
In 2017, the 1.96 meter tall defensive player came to Dortmund from the reserves of Paris Saint-Germain and matured there to become a Bundesliga professional.
Over the years, however, Zagadou has been thrown back again and again by injuries, some of them serious. After five seasons in the black and yellow jersey, he only made 92 appearances in all competitions.
Nevertheless, the former France U21 international still enjoys a good reputation throughout Europe, and robust defenders with a strong left foot are traditionally very popular.
As soon as the change is official, Zagadou will help in Stuttgart to stabilize the team, which has historically started badly. After seven Bundesliga matches, the Swabians are still without a win, on Saturday they lost 3-1 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt.
The upcoming international break could now be used to integrate Zagadou into the team.
