Deniz Undav named VfB Stuttgart's Player of the Season

Summary

Deniz Undav has been awarded VfB Stuttgart's Player of the Season after receiving eight out of ten votes in the annual Bulinews voting. The 29-year-old Germany international scored a career-high 19 goals this season, placing him behind Harry Kane in the Bundesliga rankings. Stuttgart finished fourth in the league and will return to the Champions League next season, despite a recent spell of poor form, winning only one of their last five matches. Undav had a slow start due to a knee injury but rebounded with key performances, including a hat-trick against Borussia Dortmund. His contract was also extended until 2029 before he joined the national team for the World Cup.
