Deniz Undav is one of VfB Stuttgart’s move valued assets. Since his return from a knee injury, the German forward has been directly involved in eight goals (six goals, two assists) across all competitions since the beginning of November.
According to Opta, this is the best return of any player across Europe’s top 5 leagues, surpassing Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé (6G, 1A).
Undav on fire
The 29-year-old opened his account for the season on his first start following his return from injury, scoring the game-winning goal against Mainz in October.
Undav would then score a brace against Augsburg before netting a hat-trick against Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 11, the German showcasing excellent acrobatics for his first of the afternoon.
The former Brighton attacker scored VfB’s second in a 2-0 win over Feyenoord, before recording two assists against Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League.
In excellent form, Undav gives Julian Nagelsmann a selection headache ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
