100 euros a month, just toast with coleslaw for weeks - and suddenly a call from Nagelsmann. Deniz Undav, the top German goalscorer in the Bundesliga with 14 goals, has played his way into the hearts of VfB fans within just a few months.
The 27-year-old will be nominated for the DFB team for the first time in March. Undav had been rejected by Werder Bremen in his youth and had since given up hope of becoming a professional footballer.
