Nankishi takes off: Ex-Bremer player moves to VfB Stuttgart!

A new wind is blowing at VfB Stuttgart, and fresh momentum is coming from Bremerhaven. The young winger Abdenego Nankishi is moving from SV Werder Bremen to the Swabians on a free transfer. Of course, there is some potential in this signing that could be crucial for the future of the club. After all, Stephan Hildebrandt, the director of the youth training center, also shows great confidence in Nankishi, whose offensive skills and development opportunities appear very promising.

Nankishi, born on July 6, 2002, completed his entire football career at Werder Bremen. From the youth teams to the reserve team, he has been through practically every stage of the Bremen club. In the 2024/25 season he played 17 games for SV Werder's second team in the Regionalliga Nord, scoring four goals and preparing six more. Even though he was denied a debut in the Bundesliga, he was able to gain valuable experience, including two loan spells at Heracles Almelo and TSV 1860 Munich in the 2023/24 season.

A new beginning in the 3rd league

Now Nankishi will initially play in the U21 team at VfB Stuttgart, which competes in the 3rd league. This league is known for offering young talents a platform to develop and gain a foothold in professional football. Nankishi has already gained experience in the 3rd division and plays exactly in the position that VfB urgently wants to strengthen. With a market value of 450,000 euros, he is traded in the club as a player with high development potential.

“Nankishi should play an important role in the offensive wing position,” as Transfermarkt puts it. This suggests that those responsible at VfB Stuttgart have big plans for the talented winger. In addition to the Swabians, Randers FC from Denmark and several other 3rd league clubs had also expressed interest in Nankishi. But ultimately those responsible at VfB decided to win the 22-year-old for their own ranks.

What does the future hold?

Abdenego Nankishi is now set for a new start in Stuttgart and the football world is looking forward to his development. It remains to be seen how quickly he can settle into the new environment and show what he's made of. VfB fans can look forward to exciting games and perhaps one or two spectacular appearances.

With Nankishi, VfB Stuttgart has signed a young, hungry player who is ready to take advantage of his opportunity. In a league that encourages development and talent, this could be the start of something big.
