Arne Engels transfers to West Ham United
The 22-year-old forward Arne Engels is set to transfer from Celtic Glasgow to West Ham United. According to Sky-UK information, both clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of over 25 million euros for the young player. The FC Augsburg will also benefit from the transfer: The Fuggerstädter had secured a 20% resale participation when Engels moved to Glasgow in 2024.
Why does Augsburg profit?
The FC Augsburg had secured a 20% resale participation when Engels moved to Glasgow in 2024. This means that the club will receive a 20% share of the sale price of Engels if he is sold in the future.
What comes next?
The transfer of Arne Engels to West Ham United is not yet officially confirmed. However, it is likely that the transfer will be completed in the next few days or weeks. The FC Augsburg will then receive a part of the sale price and can improve its finances. The FC Augsburg is currently ranked 9th in the Bundesliga and has collected 43 points in the last season. The team has scored 45 goals and conceded 61 goals in the current season. The title fight is still far away for the Fuggerstädter, as they are 46 points behind the league leaders Bayern München.
