VfB Stuttgart are apparently unwilling to allow Josha Vagnoman to leave during the current transfer window after all.

Sport BILD reports that a "transfer ban" has been recently placed on the right-back by the Swabian club's bosses. 

The reason given is the injury to Nikolas Nartey, who played at right-back in the first round of the DFB Cup against Hansa Rostock.

However the Dane had to be substituted after just eight minutes of the eventual 4-0 victory with a thigh muscle injury.

Vagnoman took his place, after Premier League outfit Hull City, among others, had expressed interest a few weeks earlier.

At the time, it was said that VfB Stuttgart would let Vagnoman go for €10 to €15million, but now, their stance has changed completely.
