Transfer interest is building around Elias Niklas Baum, with Heidenheim understood to be weighing-up a move for the Frankfurt defender. While there has been no official bid as yet, the club may act swiftly if they decide to pursue the deal before the transfer window slams shut. The transfer remains in progress, and with no other clubs involved, Heidenheim look to be negotiating from a comfortable position. So far in this season, Heidenheim are conceding 2.27 goals a game (34 in 15), more than they'd like compared to the Bundesliga standard. The hope is Elias Niklas Baum adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Frankfurt continue to be linked with Max Moerstedt while Heidenheim are also rumoured to be tracking Leonidas Stergiou and Phillip Tietz. Want to see how the story develops?
