kicker reports that Wolfsburg are the next Bundesliga side to show interest in Paderborn winger Aaron Zehnter.
After Paderborn’s failure to gain promotion, Zehnter has begun to attract interest from Bundesliga sides. 1.FC Köln, who are now managed by his former head coach Lukas Kwasniok, and Werder Bremen are interested in the 20-year-old.
Wolfsburg are now interested; a move for Zehnter would then mean that Joakim Maehle would most likely switch to the right-back. Another option is Amar Dedic of Red Bull Salzburg.
The Autostadt side are also interested in Dedic’s teammate, midfielder Maurits Kjaergaard. The 21-year-old fits the profile of players that Wolfsburg are looking for, from Scandinavia, and things could pick up after the Club World Cup, where the Dane is currently playing with Salzburg.
Wolfsburg recently hired Paul Simonis from Go Ahead Eagles as their new head coach, who replaces Ralph Hasenhüttl. Now there is security in the dugout, and Wolfsburg can now look to move forward with their squad planning for this upcoming season.
