Shinta Appelkamp does not see himself permanently in the second division. “I’ve played in the second division for almost three years now, that was an important time for me. But of course I don’t want to stay in this league forever, I want to make the leap into the Bundesliga as soon as possible. Preferably with Fortuna”the attacking midfielder told ‘Transfermarkt.de’.
Appelkamp is still tied to Fortuna until 2026. In the current season, the 22-year-old has five goals and seven assists in 27 second division games. Düsseldorf is in fifth place in the table, nine points behind the relegation place. Appelkamp assesses the situation as follows: “If you look at the points that are still up for grabs, it would go up a bit. But if you’re realistic, the probability is rather low after we haven’t been able to win important games in the last few weeks.”
