SIMON ZOLLER NEWS

Five goal contributions last season Zoller scored three goals and two assists on 30 shots and nine chances created in 27 appearances (19 starts) this past season.

Impact Zoller recorded three goals and two assists in 27 appearances this past season, exactly matching his totals from the 2021-2022 season in which he featured just 10 matches for Bochum. He started the majority of matches before a muscle strain in February, and when he came back at the end of March he started just two of the final nine matches. Zoller has recorded a maximum of seven goal contributions in his five Bundesliga seasons, so the 31-year-old could be headed for another relatively low scoring season next season.
