Ghanaian midfielder Hans Nunoo Sarpei is on the verge of leaving VfL Stuttgart after he was left without a squad number for the upcoming Bundesliga campaign.
Sarpei spent last season on loan at Slovakian side FK Senica but his spell was truncated after suffering an injury midway through the season.
The 19-year-old is reported to be closing in on another loan following the plethora of options in midfield of Tayfun Korkut's side.
Stuttgart are well stocked in midfield with the likes of Gonzalo Castro, Christian Gentner, Santiago Ascacibar and Dennis Aogo which has left the Ghanaian with a slim chance of playing regular football in the coming season.
