Future of Deniz Undav settled as Brighton forward completes loan deal away from Premier League

Deniz Undav will be looking to make a name for himself in the Bundesliga.

Deniz Undav has left Brighton to join Stuttgart on a season-long loan deal.

The 27-year-old scored eight goals in 30 games across all competitions last season.

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi said: "It is with some regret we decided to let Deniz go and play.

"Last year he was crucial for us in achieving our goals, but he deserves that chance.

"We wish him well for the season with Stuttgart and we look forward to welcoming him back at the end of the season."

Undav arrived on the south coast from Belgian side Union SG where he scored 45 goals in 68 appearances.

Before that, the player was a regular at Meppen - third tier in Germany - where he bagged 24 goals in 73 outings.

Undav will now look ahead to his maiden season in the Bundesliga with a side who narrowly avoided relegation last term.

Stuttgart finished 16th but prevailed in a relegation play-off against Hamburger SV.
