Having perfectly capitalised on the opportunities within Stuttgart's defensive rotation, Finn Jeltsch has entered the radar of Europe's elite scouting networks with an "urgent" status. His recent performances have transformed the stands into a virtual "scouting convention."
No sooner had Manchester City struck an initial 20m deal to sign Crystal Palace's captain Marc Guehi was head coach Oliver Glasner confirming he would be leaving Selhurst Park at the end of the season. Neither development comes as a shock. BBC Sport revealed that City had accelerated their move for Guehi last Monday in light of Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias suffering injuries.
The contracts were not only negotiated, but already signed. Now, from our point of view, it is incomprehensible to postpone a failed medical check and thus activate a clause in the contract because Moussa is healthy and fit for play.

No, it's not about getting the maximum. Believe it or not, that's the case with many footballers. They simply want to be paid fairly compared to their teammates. For me, the sporting aspect is what matters. I want to play for an ambitious club that has a plan, a club where my qualities are appreciated. Above all, I want to inspire my teammates and take the team to another level. Football is about winning; I've had that goal administered to me intravenously every day for the last eight years.
