Hoffenheim updates: Trabzonspor want Bruun Larsen, striker Yardımcı on the way, Berisha to Bremen?

Several rumors concerning the manner in which TSG 1899 Hoffenheim manager Andreas Schicker is planning on structuring his January transfer window are beginning to crop up.

Rumors about the manner in which Hoffenheim manager Andreas Schicker plans to begin digging his way out of the mess that is his club's roster are beginning to circulate. Germany's Kicker Magazine reports that a buyer for Danish attacker Jacob Bruun Larsen - whom the club is known to wish to cash in on - has emerged. 

Turkish transfer reporter Yağız Sabuncuoğlu tweeted on Sunday that Trabzonspor Kulübü are interested in taking the 26-year-old on. German journalist Benni Hofmann of Germany's Kicker Magazine - in a separate report - notes that moving Bruun Larsen will lead to Schicker attempting to close a deal for Köln's Tim Lemperle.

Hofmann addresses the rumors claiming that Schicker is close to sealing a deal to acquire Olympique Lyon striker Gift Orban, essentially confirming that the Nigerian should be on his way to Sinsheim. Another striker also heads back to the TSG ranks.

Erencan Yardımcı - signed as part of a late flurry this summer and loaned out to Sturm Graz - will return to head coach Christian Ilzer. This is reported by Austrian news portal "LAOLA1". 

The arrival of three new strikers obviously means that Schicker will have to let one of his current forwards go. Transfermarkt's German base site, admittedly without much substantiation, speculates that Werder Bremen like the idea of bringing the former German international in.

Bremen's January transfer plans don't necessarily prioritize ringing in a new striker, but Berisha could constitute a very solid addition as a reliable option to serve alongside Marvin Ducksch.
