What next for Marvin Ducksch after Valencia move collapsed on deadline day? | OneFootball

Marvin Ducksch’s proposed switch to Valencia collapsed on deadline day, so the German striker remained at Birmingham City. According to Superdeporte, he had agreed terms after Umar Sadiq’s injury but the deal fell apart.

Since then he has featured in three fixtures, none from the start. His role remains limited.

On the day the window closed, a 1-1 draw with Southampton, he did not get on. On six September he played nine minutes in a 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton. On nine September he had eight minutes in a 2-1 defeat to Norwich City.

That totals 17 minutes across those games, underlining his secondary status in the Championship.

Valencia also moved for Ducksch and Etta Eyong on deadline day. A loan for the 32-year-old until 30 June from Birmingham City was well advanced, then collapsed early afternoon. Hours later the club called about Etta Eyong, but the Levante player declined.

Ron Gourlay downplayed any last-minute scramble, saying there were 40-50 conversations and Ducksch and Etta were never seriously considered, with no direct contact or interest. Carlos Corberán sounded sceptical about adding a free-agent striker after Sadiq’s injury, and noted Hugo Duro, Danjuma and Aimar are with the first team.
