Arrivals

.Alexander Nübel is the new number 1. The 26 year-old is still under contract at FC Bayern München until June 2025, but had been on loan at AS Monaco for the last two seasons. VfB have secured the services of the ex-Schalke man after two campaigns in France – also on a loan deal from Bayern.
Maximilian Mittelstädt was the first new arrival in Swabia at the beginning of June. The left-back, who can also play in midfield, made the switch from Hertha BSC, who were relegated from the Bundesliga last season. The Berlin-born player came through Hertha’s set up and played 145 Bundesliga games for his hometown club.
Woo-Yeong Jeong is expected to strengthen the attacking midfield department. The South Korea was brought in after three years at SC Freiburg and was immediately given the number 10 shirt. The 23 year old has already made several appearances for his national team. Playing in a Champions League game in November 2018, he became the first South Korean to play for FC Bayern and indeed the first to play for the Munich side in Europe’s premier competition. He stands out mostly due to his good technique and pace.
Deniz Undav is another newcomer, although he is out with a partial lateral collateral ligament tear and won’t play against Leipzig. The Turkish-German player was loaned out after a year in the Premier League with Brighton & Hove Albion, where he scored eight times. He had previously scored 43 goals in two seasons with Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise. Undav is incredibly clinical with both feet as well as in the air.
Jamie Lewelling should also boost the attack, as he arrives on loan from Union Berlin. The 22 year-old attacking virtuoso can play in a variety of positions. The former German youth international is extremely quick and athletic, and is particularly good in one-on-one scenarios.
