Stuttgart swoop for Heinen

Magath connection
The 32-year-old has agreed a two-year contract and will link up with Felix Magath - his coach at previous club Eintracht Frankfurt - at the Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion. "He has to put pressure on the No1 position," Magath said. Heinen, who has also played for Bayer 04 Leverkusen, will fill the gap left by Thomas Ernst's departure to 1. FC Kaiserslautern.

Striker leaves
Stuttgart have also parted company with Romanian international striker Ioan Ganea, the 29-year-old joining compatriot Gheorghe Hagi at Turkey's Bursaspor. Ganea moves on a free transfer having been refused a new contract by Stuttgart.
