Wolfsburg gets Seelt: The flurry of change on Deadline Day is revealed!
Deadline Day is tough again! On September 9, 2025, the talented central defender Jenson Seelt moved from AFC Sunderland to VfL Wolfsburg. This decision did not come out of nowhere, but was a reaction to Denis Vavro's injury and David Odogu's departure. Wolfsburg had already tried hard to sign Kristoffer Ajer from FC Brentford, but the matter with Seelt became a short-term solution to the problem. Seelt was originally allowed to return to NEC Nijmegen, which was already planned, but developments quickly took a new turn,【1】.
Seelt called the day when he found out about his advisors’ plans “really hectic.” Although he expected to stay in Sunderland, when the offer came in from Wolfsburg he flew straight to Germany. He signed a loan contract there and was on the ball in the friendly against Paderborn just two days later. Seelt said he was happy about the move and sees Wolfsburg as a place where he can develop well.【1】
Strengths and challenges
Seelt has some strengths that he would like to show in Wolfsburg. These include man coverage, speed and a good passing game. The 22-year-old is particularly talented, but he missed almost a whole year last season due to a torn cruciate ligament. This season he only made two short appearances in the Premier League for Sunderland.【1】【2】
His goal is to quickly secure a place in the first eleven. However, he has great respect for the achievements of his teammates Moritz Jenz and Konstantinos Koulierakis. “I will initially stay focused on the game against 1. FC Köln,” Seelt continued. He would also like to get in touch with Jobe Bellingham, with whom he has a connection during his time in Sunderland.【1】
New growth in Wolfsburg
But it's not just Seelt who is strengthening VfL Wolfsburg. Adam Daghim, a 19-year-old Danish attacker, also came on board after a loan deal from Salzburg. Daghim has played 47 competitive games for Salzburg in the past and brings valuable experience from the Champions League, which increases his market value to around 5 million euros【2】.
Wolfsburg's sporting director, Sebastian Schindzielorz, praised Daghim as a young talent with a lot of potential who is both versatile and fast. The interest of both players shows that Wolfsburg still intends to put its team on fresh legs and develop talents that can enrich the first team at some point【2】【3】.
For young professionals like Seelt and Daghim, loans can be a crucial step in their careers. These deals often offer the opportunity to gain match practice while clubs keep the chance of returning with a higher market value. The legal framework of the loan ensures that players like Seelt maintain a valid contract in the background during their time at Wolfsburg, so that they do not become clubless when the loan period ends【3】.
Overall, there is a lot of movement in the Wolves squad. It remains to be seen whether the changes will pay off in the long term. Fans can be excited to see how the new faces perform on the pitch and whether they can contribute to the stability and success of the club!
