Dynamo Dresden signs striker Vermeij: Offensive reinforcement!

Dynamo Dresden has dared to make a new foray on the offensive. Striker Vincent Vermeij is moving from Fortuna Düsseldorf to the traditional club for an estimated 250,000 euros. The 31-year-old Dutchman passed the medical check in Dresden on Monday morning and will train with his new team in the Ostragehege for the first time on Tuesday. This reports Picture.

The enthusiasm surrounding the transfer is palpable. Vermeij, who had been in talks for the move for two weeks, visited the training center in Dresden at the end of July. He was recently no longer in the squad at Fortuna Düsseldorf after the club signed Cedric Itten, which made it easier for Vermeij to be released. Before his move, the attacker played 64 third division games for Freiburg II last season, scoring an impressive 26 goals.

A new wind for the offensive

Dynamo Dresden is in a real mess this season: the first two games were lost – 2:3 against Greuther Fürth and 1:2 against 1. FC Magdeburg. Coach Thomas Stamm sees a clear need for action and emphasizes that the defense needs reinforcements. With Vermeij, a breath of fresh air should now come into the offensive. Next to him, Christoph Daferner, who scored 18 goals in the last third division season, will fight for the center forward position.

The signing of Vermeij is not only a response to the setbacks so far, but also a strategic safeguard in the event of Daferner's failure. In addition, the use of Stefan Kutschke in tight game situations could be reduced, although he could still take on an optional role. Another most interesting fact is that Robin Meißner, who was not in the squad in the first few games, may be on the hit list.

A look at the transfer balance

The situation remains exciting and fans hope that the new striker can give the team the decisive boost in this difficult phase.
