Degen In Loan Switch

Worldwide Football can reveal Liverpool right-back Philipp Degen has joined German side Stuttgart on a year long loan with a view to making the deal permanent.


The 27 year old Swiss international has been told he doesn't feature in new Liverpool boss Roy Hodgsons plans and that he could now find himself a new club.  


Degen is no stranger to the Bundesliga having spent 3 years playing for Borussia Dortmund and has also had spells in his native Switzerland for FC Basel and FC Aarau.


In 2 seasons at Anfield, Degen struggled to make an impact and only managed to make 7 league appearances for Liverpool, his lack of action last season meant he missed the World Cup for Switzerland but should he get a regular game for Stuttgart he will look to add to the 29 caps he currently has for his country.


If all things go well for Degen he could get the chance to show Hodgson he still has a future at Liverpool as both clubs are in this seasons Europa League and should Tottenham Hotspur win their Champions League tie against Young Boys Degen could get the opportunity to play against his twin brother David in the Europa League.
