It's all confirmed: Badredine Bouanani has joined Stuttgart from Nice. The midfielder has penned terms with his new club and completed all registration steps. This deal brings to an end a high-profile pursuit, with Stuttgart now adding another piece to their evolving squad structure. No other teams were seriously connected with the player, leaving Stuttgart free to complete the transfer at their own pace. Stuttgart are only scoring 1.4 goals per game (7 in 5) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. Badredine Bouanani would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Nice continue to be linked with Lassine Sinayoko, Tiago Gouveia and Odsonne Edouard while Stuttgart are also rumoured to be tracking Dodi Lukebakio, Brajan Gruda and Emiliano Buendia.
