Bright agree deal to sign 2. Bundesliga ace | OneFootball

The Greek striker took Germany’s second-tier by storm after joining from PAOK Saloniki on an initial loan deal. When he signed for Nürnberg, the purchase option of €15 million seemed ridiculous for someone who only scored five goals in professional football.

But, under the World Cup all-time leading scorer Miroslav Klose, Stefanos Tzimas took the next step in his young career. The 19-year-old scored 10 non-penalty goals in his first 17 2. Bundesliga appearances.

As a result, Nürnberg decided to sign him permanently before immediately looking for a profit. Furthermore, Der Club will also keep their frontman on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Coached by the German Fabian Hürzeler, who won last season’s 2. Bundesliga with St. Pauli, Brighton are ready to pay €25 million for his services. According to kicker’s report, the price could reach €27 million with plausible clauses. After completing the deal on Monday, he’ll be back with the Franconians until the end of the current season.
