Gelsenkirchen (AP) - The transfer of right-back William within the Bundesliga from VfL Wolfsburg to FC Schalke 04 is apparently imminent.

"I hope that the club will be able to definitely sign him," said Schalke coach Christian Gross after the 4-0 draw on Sunday against FC Bayern Munich and is apparently already planning the Brazilian for Saturday's game at Werder Bremen: «I hope that he will then be eligible to play.

We'll see how it integrates.

The aim is that we can install it as quickly as possible. "

A loan deal is apparently under discussion until the end of the season.

The 25-year-old Brazilian William would be the third winter entry of the bottom of the table after the returnees Sead Kolasinac (Arsenal FC) and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Ajax Amsterdam).

At Wolfsburg, William lost his regular place due to a cruciate ligament rupture last February and the commitment of Ridle Baku from FSV Mainz 05.

During the entire season he was only substituted twice in added time.
