VfB Stuttgart in the race around Hoffenheim's young star Tom Bischof!

Stuttgart, Deutschland - VfB Stuttgart has thrown his eyes on the coveted talent Tom Bishop of TSG Hoffenheim! The 19-year-old midfielder, who is one of the hottest young stars in the league, could soon wear the Swabian jersey. While the winter transfer window is not yet open, planning for the coming season is already in full swing. In addition to other talents, VfB has also targeted Bishop, who could be free in summer.

The competition does not sleep! Top clubs like RB Leipzig are already interested in Bishop and have contacted. But Stuttgart has a decisive advantage: coach Sebastian Hoeneß, who once discovered Bishop near Hoffenheim and paved his way into the Bundesliga. Bishop made his debut under Hoeneß on March 19, 2022 when he was substituted against Hertha BSC in the 77th minute. This connection could be the key for VfB to sign the talented player.

Hoeneß as a trump card

Bishop has developed to an indispensable part of the Hoffenheim team in recent years and has 42 professional games in four seasons. His contract expires in June 2025, and Hoffenheim tries to extend it to win him over to his own sporting plans. Stuttgart is aware of the challenges that the financial strength of the competition brings. But Hoeneß could play the crucial role that he was already doing with Angelo Stiller, who moved from Hoffenheim to Stuttgart in the summer of 2023 and was a national player under Hoeneß.

The future of Hoeneß remains uncertain because it has an exit clause and is also being encouraged by other clubs. The decision about Bischof's future is still pending and the clock ticks! VfB Stuttgart has to act quickly to secure this emerging star before it is too late.
