In other St. Pauli related transfer news, club sporting director Andreas Bornemann has openly confirmed St. Pauli's interest in French striker Morgan Guilavogui. Speaking to Germany's "Sport Bild" tabloid, Bornemann noted that the younger brother of former VfL Wolfsburg captain Joshua Guilavogui remained the "preferred option" for the front office's quest to shore up the attacking ranks.
"[Guilavogui] is a great player," Bornemann told the newspaper, "I've made no secret of the fact that he fits our profile very well. He is tall, but also agile and can make the deep runs. Various things have to come together. [We'll] use all tools available at our disposal to work out the details."
