Schalke: One exciting transfer target from each Bundesliga II team
By Josh Sippie
Hamburger SV
Sure, Schalke have a ton of young attacking talents who can double as strikers or wingers. Rabbi Matondo and Benito Raman are the two obvious ones but, given the right target man up top, Ahmed Kutucu could suit up out wide as well.

Which is why my choice from Hamburger might be a bit eye-brow-raising, but I’m going to do it anyway—Bakery Jatta.
I have all the faith in the world that Matondo and Raman and Kutucu will pan out. Hell, Raman already has, for the most part. But you can’t be too sure when it comes to attacking options and right now, those three guys alone aren’t enough. Maybe a target man will fix that, or maybe a new, innovative winger will.
Jatta is tremendous at making something from nothing. He’s a dribbling wizard, he knows how to finish and while he needs to improve on his ball security, the groundwork is there for him to grow much more secure than he is.
He’s also willing to put in the defensive work as well, which is always such a nice addition when talking about any winger.
On to Hannover.
