Three reasons why Wolfsburg will be clear of Bundesliga relegation

Yunus Malli and Admir Mehmedi were two of the most distinguished signings brought into the club last year.

However, neither player really came to the party for the most part of the season.

Mehmedi was signed from Bayer Leverkusen. And despite scoring one and assisting another in his first two starts he found himself on the bench for much of the season only notching two more goals.

The 27-year-old then missed the last ten games with a torn ligament.

Malli made 31 appearances last campaign and did score an important third goal in the relegation play-off against Holstein Kiel.

He bagged six goals and supplied another six assists for Mainz before his move in January 2017. But Malli hasn’t been able to provide enough killer contributions in the clubs famous colours.

Nurturing youth

New Sporting director Jorg Schmadtke may be looking for the next wave of young talent. But the club already have some exciting youngsters on their books.

They’d already signed Paul-Georges Ntep, Riechedly Bazoer and former Arsenal man Kaylen Hinds in an attempt to nurture a new generation.

Ntep will be returning from an unproductive spell back in Ligue 1 and will want to prove his doubters wrong.

Bazoer featured more. But after returning from his loan spell early to help save the club from relegation, the Croatian midfielder Josip Brekalo is who the fans may pin their hopes on this season.
