Hoffenheim interested in Stuttgart gem, pushing to sign St. Gallen marksman

TSG Hoffenheim are pushing to make a double signing of VfB Stuttgart talent Mirza Catovic and Alessandro Vogt from FC St. Gallen.

According to Sky Germany, Vogt now close to joining TSG Hoffenheim in the summer and the  20-year-old striker wants to move.

St. Gallen are informed of the players' decision and Hoffenheim are set to activate the release clause of around €2.7million.

Vogt has shown outstanding development under head coach Enrico Maaßen, with 8 goals and 2 assists in 20 Swiss Super League games.

Meanwhile, the Sinsheim club are also keen on VfB talent Catovic and consider him an exciting prospect who is ready for the Bundesliga.
