Bosnian forward and former Augsburg captain Ermedin Demirovic is the latest signing for Stuttgart, announced this Tuesday by the German football vice-champions on their official website.
"After playing in Stuttgart, I immediately became a fan of the club. I like the team and the way they play. I already know some of the players, so it shouldn't take me long to adapt," said Ermedin Demirovic, 26 years old.
Demirovic was Augsburg's top scorer last season, with 15 goals in 33 Bundesliga matches, showcasing his scoring prowess and consistency.

This achievement marks a significant milestone for the club, reflecting their strong performance throughout the season and their ambition to compete at the highest level in European football.
The addition of Demirovic to Stuttgart's squad is seen as a strategic move to bolster their attacking options as they prepare for both domestic and international competitions. His experience and proven track record in the Bundesliga are expected to bring valuable depth and versatility to the team.
Stuttgart's management expressed their excitement about the new signing, emphasizing Demirovic's potential to make an immediate impact. "We are thrilled to welcome Ermedin to our club. His goal-scoring ability and experience in the Bundesliga will be a great asset as we look to build on our success from last season," said a club spokesperson.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming season, hopeful that Demirovic's arrival will strengthen Stuttgart's offensive capabilities and help the team achieve their goals both in the Bundesliga and the Champions League. The player himself is eager to get started and contribute to the team's success, reflecting a positive outlook for his future with Stuttgart.
As Stuttgart gears up for the new season, the signing of Demirovic signals their intent to continue competing at the highest level and to build a squad capable of challenging for titles and making a mark in European football.
