Wahid Faghir, once considered a promising Danish attacking talent, is returning to Vejle after struggling to make an impact at German club Stuttgart. The 21-year-old’s return marks a homecoming to the club where he achieved significant success as a teenager.

Faghir’s move to Stuttgart four years ago was highly anticipated, with numerous major European clubs vying for his signature. However, he only made six Bundesliga appearances and scored one goal for the club.

Stuttgart’s sporting director, Christian Gentner, acknowledged Faghir’s contribution to the U21 team’s survival in the 3rd Bundesliga last season and wished him well in his future endeavors.

Prior to his return to Vejle, Faghir had loan spells at FC Nordsjælland and Elversberg, but failed to reach his anticipated potential. Last season, he played in the 3rd Bundesliga, scoring eight goals in 22 appearances for Stuttgart’s second team.

The announcement of Faghir’s return coincides with Jacob Bruun Larsen’s transfer from Stuttgart to Premier League club Burnley. Nikolas Nartey remains the only Danish player at the Bundesliga club.
