Player to watch – Paul Wanner
Wonderkid Paul Wanner has long been tipped for a career at the top and Bayern Munich have loaned out their prodigy this season in a bid to earn the 18-year-old some much-needed first-team experience.
Wanner has made a fantastic start
Wanner has already endeared himself to Heidenheim supporters, netting three times in four appearances for his temporary employers across three different competitions. The talented teen should provide another hefty dollop of goal threat against Augsburg on Sunday.
