Keen on making an immediate return to the German Bundesliga, Schalke 04 has set sight on assembling a strong squad in the summer window.

While a few players are expected to be signed, the club has decided to bring back on-loan attacker Bernard Tekpetey.

The attacker was loaned to Ludogorets Razgrad last summer on a two-year deal. After just a season in Bulgaria where the Ghanaian displayed outstanding form, he is now set for an early return to Germany.

Schalke hopes to count on his experience in the Bundesliga 2 in a campaign they will be eager to enjoy success to gain promotion back to the Bundesliga.

Bernard Tekpetey, 23, in the 2020/2021 football season, made 21 appearances for Ludogorets where he scored once and provided as many as eight assists.
