Tymoteusz Puchacz is anticipated to depart from Holstein Kiel after merely half a year. The Polish portal 'meczyki.pl' reported that the Polish player is close to securing a move to the English Championship. Discussions are ongoing about a six-month loan, with Stoke City allegedly showing interest. Besides Stoke City, Hull City, Derby County, and Plymouth have also indicated their interest in the 25-year-old. Puchacz, who transferred to Holstein Kiel from Union Berlin in August last year, has found it challenging to secure playing time under coach Marcel Rapp, managing only 395 minutes in ten Bundesliga matches, with three games in December where he did not play at all. The transfer is expected to be completed in the coming days.
