- Jakupovic scored five goals in 17 appearances for Bravo after stepping up from Olimpija Ljubljana’s U19s last summer.
- Transfer interest was also reported from Sturm Graz and Hannover 96 during the process.
- Kiel has also added Jonas Meffert permanently and Umut Tohumcu on loan, and the club says it is keeping options open for another attacking addition given a modest first-half goal return led by defender David Zec.
