Schalke: One exciting transfer target from each Bundesliga II team

1. FC Nürnberg

Here’s someone who’s going places—Robin Hack. In his first full year at Nürnberg, he’s already amassed seven goals and an assist. But it’s those seven goals that we are obviously ogling over. Seven goals! That’d be tied for the Schalke team lead with Suat Serdar.

• Schalke 04: Arkadiusz Milik would take everything, but he’s worth it
• Schalke 04: Ozan Kabak makes Jean-Claire Todibo pass quietly
• Schalke 04: Omar Mascarell the only boost between now and then
• Schalke 04: David Wagner just has to make it to the end of the season
• Schalke 04: At least we still have Weston McKennie

As can be expected from someone who has seven goals, he’s doing a lot of things right in his first and breakout year. He’s a tremendous ball carrier capable of shaking defenders all on his own. He’s never offside, as he operates well with teammates and reading the flow of play.

He’s also versatile enough to be used across the midfield spectrum, wide on either side, centrally as a traditional midfielder or attacking midfielder. Honestly, I wouldn’t put it past David Wagner to try to get him operating as a striker given those seven goals I can’t stop talking about.

Hack came up in the Hoffenheim youth outfit, but the opportunities never came at a senior level, so Nürnberg stepped in to give him the stage he needed. Now that he’s flexing it, it’s time to bring him back to the Bundesliga.

Next up, VfL Osnabrück.
