Player to watch – Paul Wanner

Heidenheim attacker Paul Wanner is on a lengthy run without a goal in the Bundesliga, though he has scored twice in five Conference League appearances this term and he should be a threat again on Thursday.

Wanner has the quality to make a difference

Wanner, who is on loan at Heidenheim from Bayern Munich, is a player of genuine promise and the talented 18-year-old has been making a big splash in the Conference League this season. Wanner has the technical skills to be a nuisance against Istanbul Basaksehir on Thursday.
