Wolfsburg win the race for Paderborn’s Aaron Zehnter | OneFootball

As quoted by the Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung, Paderborn President Thomas Sagel has confirmed Aaron Zehnter’s imminent transfer to Wolfsburg. The 20-year-old will move to Germany’s green company team from Paderborn for a transfer fee of around €4-5m. Sagel confirmed that Zehnter is in Wolfsburg for a medical ahead of his switch to his new Bundesliga club.

One of the German football’s most sough-after commodities this summer, Zehnter elicited plenty of interest from other clubs. Peter Christiansen and the Wolfsburg administrative team have apparently outpaced the competition. Die Wölfe have an open slot at left back due to the presumed departure of Brazilian Rogerio this summer. Zehnter can also play higher up in midfield or on the wing.

Matters have been rather quiet on the arrival front in Germany’s northern Autostadt thus far this summer. That is expected to change soon. In addition to Zehnter, Wolfsburg are expected to confirm the capture of Sheffield United midfielder Vinicius Souza shortly. Danish right back Elias Jelert is also reported to be in Christiansen’s sights.
