Brutal scoring rate: Gladbach loanee forces his way into spotlight
Borussia Mönchengladbachâs squad planning in attack currently resembles a complicated puzzle. While the future of top scorer Haris Tabakovic eleven goals this season) is still up in the air, the wage bill for the coming campaign is steadily growing. Alongside captain Tim Kleindienst and Japanese forward Shuto Machino, loan players Tomas Cvancara and Shio Fukuda will also return in the summer.
But the most exciting promise for the future is currently making headlines in Switzerland: Winsley Boteli. The Swiss U21 international striker is currently on loan at FC Sion, where he has established himself as arguably the most dangerous super-sub in the Super League. The numbers of the youngster, who is still under contract with Borussia until 2028, are impressive:
Super-sub qualities: Despite making just one start in 33 matches, he has already scored six goals.
Fantastic rate: Statistically, Boteli scores every 83 minutes.
Top mark: That even puts him ahead of the leagueâs top elite. For comparison: top scorer Chris Bedia (Bern) needs an average of 113 minutes per goal.
Transfer poker in the summer: Stay or sell?
Despite his strong performances, Boteliâs future at Borussia-Park is uncertain. Sporting director Rouven Schröder must wait and see how the surplus of attacking options sorts itself out.
FC Sion does have a purchase option worth âŹ3.5 million, but that is likely to exceed the clubâs budget. That has put other interested parties on alert: Club Brugge in particular are said to be closely monitoring the 19-year-old. The Belgians have a knack for talents from German-speaking countries â only last summer they lured Nicolo Tresoldi from Hannover to Brugge for âŹ7.5 million. If Tresoldi takes the next step in his career this summer, the path would be clear for Boteli.
Gladbach now face the key question: do they develop the jewel themselves, or use the hype to bring in a lucrative transfer fee?
