It's time, preparations are finally coming to an end: On Saturday, they travel to England for a double friendly against Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion. Progress and, ideally, results are needed to solidify their belief in the new path.

And, from the perspective of those in charge, new players are also needed. A center forward is desperately needed, as is a new right-back, with VfL already one step closer to securing a contract after the failed deal with Romanian Andrei Ratiu (Rayo Vallecano). According to information from kicker, the Lower Saxony club is intensively vying for the services of Dutchman Milan van Ewijk (Coventry City), who was already linked with the Bundesliga club weeks ago (also reported by the Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung). Coach Simonis knows the 24-year-old well, having once played for SC Heerenveen, where the Dutchman was assistant coach at the time. An agreement with the player is said to have already been reached.
