For the fact that VfL Wolfsburg ended the past season in a disappointing eleventh place in the Bundesliga, the activities of the Lower Saxony are still remarkable on the transfer market. A top -class new addition could now come from England. As the “kicker” reports, ex-bremer Josh Sargent from Norwich City excited the interest of those responsible. The 25 -year -old attacker would only be the second external new one in the wolves.
After the relegation of Werder Bremen in 2021, Sargent moved to Norwich City for 9.5 million euros, which had risen to the Premier League that year. Like the whole team, the American had problems to prove himself in the highest English division, and it went back to the championship. There, Sargent has been one of the most accurate professionals in the last three seasons and scored 44 goals in 98 missions. Last season, the 28-fold national player collected 20 scorers and increased its market value to EUR 16 million.
The wolves that were allowed to cheer 56 times in the past Bundesliga season could also benefit from this accuracy. Most goals scored Mohamed Amoura with ten and Jonas Wind with nine league hits. Sargent can show eleven goals in 70 Bundesliga games. After the departures of Lukas Nmecha (Leeds), Kevin Behrens (goal unknown) and Bartosz Bialek (destination unknown), wind and loan returnee Denan Pejcinovic are the only nominal center strikers in the squad of the new coach Paul Simonis.
If you cling to Amoura and Denis Vavro, which were firmly committed after the loan has been committed, goalkeeper talent Jakub Zielinski from Legia Warsaw is the only access of the wolves. Sargent could become the next well-known ex-bremer who signs in Lower Saxony. He would be the 13th footballer who played for both clubs, including Kevin de Bruyne, Max Kruse, Naldo and Diego.
Bornauw before switching from Wolfsburg to Leeds
At least on the departure side, something will happen shortly with the Wolfsburgers. According to English media reports, Sebastiaan Bornauw is faced with Leeds United. In the room there is a replacement of 6 million euros for the 26 -year -old central defender, who came from 1st FC Köln in 2021 for EUR 13.5 million. He played 96 games for the wolves, and its market value halved from 12 million to 6 million euros.
