Deniz Undav, currently on a season-long loan at Stuttgart from Brighton, has expressed openness to a permanent move to the Bundesliga side.
The 27-year-old striker, who joined the German outfit in the summer after Brighton's head coach Roberto De Zerbi allowed the move, has made a significant impact, scoring six goals in nine appearances.
Undav's loan deal with Stuttgart reportedly includes an option for them to make the move permanent at the end of the season. Previously signed by Brighton in January 2022 from Union SG, the 27-year-old spent the remainder of the season on loan at the Belgian outfit.
While he initially faced challenges at Amex Stadium, the forward found his stride, scoring eight goals in all competitions last season. With stiff competition in the attacking lineup under De Zerbi, including Evan Ferguson, Danny Welbeck, and summer signing Joao Pedro, Undav opted for the loan move to Stuttgart.
“I have a contract with Brighton. As of now, I’ll be back at Brighton in the summer,”
“But the season is still long. The focus is on VfB. I want to be as successful as possible. VfB is a great club. I’m happy to be here. The fans are great. I integrated well, the team welcomed me well. I’m not averse to it, definitely.” the player told Sky Deutschland, quoted via Sussex World.
