Stuttgart, which were recently relegated to the second division of the Bundesliga, have made a formal offer for Sint-Truiden midfielder Wataru Endo, a player they rate highly.

Endo joined Sint-Truiden from Urawa Red Diamonds last summer, and recorded 17 appearances and two goals in the anchor role. His performance was said to have caught the eyes of the club scout who had previously spotted Shinji Okazaki and Gotoku Sakai.

According to club officials, Endo has expressed his desire for a transfer and has set his sights on Germany for the coming season.
