Sasa Kalajdzic Returns To Bundesliga With Frankfurt Loan Move

Kalajdzic is making a return to the Bundesliga, where he previously starred for four seasons at VFB Stuttgart.

The 26-year-old Austria international joined Wolves from Stuttgart in the summer of 2022 but suffered a season-ending knee injury on his debut for his new club.

He made a return at the start of this season and has scored three goals 13 games for Gary O'Neil's side.

Kalajdzic scored 24 goals in 60 games during his previous stint in Germany with Frankfurt.

"Sasa has been incredibly unlucky," Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs told the Premier League club's website.

"He got injured on his debut having come back from a bad injury. He worked hard to get back fit, but the form of our forwards has meant his game time has been limited.

"After the best part of two years out injured, the best thing for Sasa and us long-term is for him to go and get lots of football, in a league he knows well and one which is similar to the Premier League in terms of physicality and style of play.

"Sasa has shown he's a natural finisher, but after his injuries, he needs to trust his body again. I hope he goes there and does really well, plays lots of games, and is able to help us next season."
