Degen On Loan at Stuttgart

Yes, full-back Philipp Degen is currently playing for VfB Stuttgart on loan from Liverpool. Premier League club Liverpool indeed confirmed that the Swiss international defender is playing on loan for the German club and will be actually spending entire new season playing for the club.

Degen joined Liverpool from Borussia Dortmund back in 2008. He did well playing for the Premier League club however several reports said that he struggled for some first-team chances.

New Reds manager Roy Hodgson once said that he hopes to give more opportunities to the reserve players. And with this, Swiss international was told that he can return to Germany for the new football campaign.

Degen of course was happy to have heard about Liverpool confirming that can play on loan for the German club and will be spending his entire new season on loan at Stuttgart.

Degen said: “I’m looking forward to the challenge and the wonderful VfB fans. I really want to make use of my chance. It’s fantastic to be working together with Christian Gross again. I had a very successful time with him in Basel.”

While in reply to what Degen said Stuttgart boss Gross conceded that he is also happy to have the Swiss international defender. He admitted that he knows the defender so well and for him he is a great player as well as an amazing person.

Gross said: “I know Philipp very well and rate him highly both as a football player and as a person. He is a very athletic and fast player, who often looks to push forward. Philipp wants to take his chance at VfB.”

It is just good to know now that they all seemed happy with Degen’s return. Most especially Degen, he seemed glad to return, just good for us to know.
