The transfer window is coming to an end. Sturm seem to be spending money again. And not a little. According to the German media, the double winners are on the verge of signing Daniel Sumbu from Arminia Bielefeld. Although he is only 17 years old, he is expected to cost around one million euros.

According to the German media, Sturm are digging deep into their wallets for a 17-year-old. The double winners are said to be on the verge of signing Daniel Sumbu. The attacking player (right winger, center forward) has already made six appearances for the German third division team this fall. The Angolan-born player made a big impression during the winter preparations and even scored a brace in a test match. The gem was promptly in the starting line-up for Arminia's second half of the season.

However, the youngster, who would still have a contract at Bielefeld until the summer of 2026, is no bargain. According to media reports from our favourite neighbors, the Blacks are paying a basic transfer fee of one million euros, not including various bonuses. The transfer should be completed by Monday. Sporting director Michael Parensen announced in the "Krone" on Friday that he would be bringing in a promising player for Sturm II.
