Bundu scored 14 goals in 70 appearances for the Pilgrims after moving to the club from Belgian side Anderlecht in September 2023.
He found his best form towards the end of last season under former boss Miron Muslic - who has since taken over at Schalke.
He scored six goals in his final 10 appearances for the Pilgrims including four in his last four games as Argyle were relegated to League One after ending the season three points adrift of safety.

🎥 Celebrate Kevin de Bruyne's birthday with this UCL stunner
Few players have commanded the level of reverence that Kevin De Bruyne has earned across his glistening career. From Genk prodigy to Chelsea unwanted, Bundesliga stardom with Bremen and Wolfsburg, and ultimately, Man City legend, the Belgian great is unquestionably one of the top attacking midfielders in recent decades, if not longer. Advertisement But his time at Manchester City will no doubt see him remembered as an all-timer both for the club and the Premier League at large, with his influence extended to the continent in the Champions League. A stunning long-range effort from the Ghent native against Real Madrid is one of the best of his career, with a blockbuster strike beating fellow Red Devil Thibaut Courtois to earn City a 1-1 first-leg draw at a silenced Bernabéu, setting them up for a 4-0 thrashing of the Spanish giants a week later. Man City would go on to claim UCL honours with a 1-0 win over Inter the following month to finally put a rubber stamp on the club's continental ambitions, with KDB at the heart of it all. Advertisement And with today being the day of his birthday, despite his move to Napoli, De Bruyne's legacy at the Etihad remains cemented. 📸 Julian Finney - 2023 Getty Images

Is 16 Old Enough to Race? Porsche Thinks So
Three weeks after you turned sixteen, what were you doing? If you're like me, maybe you were trying to figure out something about a car. More likely, you were fantasizing about your favorite cars while playing Forza or Gran Turismo. What you probably weren't doing was driving an actual Porsche race car on an actual racetrack. But that's exactly what Italian kart and Formula 4 racer Elia Weiss will be doing. Weiss will be driving a 99X Electric in the upcoming Formula E rookie test. The single-seat car, specially designed for Formula E, accelerates from zero to 100 km/h quicker than an F1 car - around two seconds, the automaker says. The rookie test is a race featuring untested, usually younger, Formula E drivers, with the goal of both exposing newcomers to Formula E and gaining valuable experience. Stuttgart is making history by choosing Weiss as their driver, with the second-youngest driver in Formula E history being chosen last year by McLaren, at 17 years old. Considering that 16 is the minimum age allowed by the DMSB, this is an accolade Weiss will hold forever. For reference, the average age of a Formula E driver hovers around 31. Although Weiss may be young, he's got a fair bit of experience making things go quickly around a racetrack. Weiss won the German karting championship title just last year and conducts sim racing tests with OEMs like Audi, BMW, and Porsche. Further padding his resume is his upcoming participation in Italian Formula 4. The rookie says he has already practiced a bit with the Formula E car in a simulator. "I was able to get to know the systems, felt right at home there, and got on really well with the engineers. Other than that, I'm preparing myself as best I can." He goes on to drive home the importance of fitness and strength when piloting the rapidly accelerating Formula E cars. You aren't alone if you're wondering how Weiss got a gig like this. According to The Race, a few Porsche bigwigs noticed Weiss two years ago at the Karting World Cup finals. The publication raises some solid questions, though: most other Formula E rookie test programs are utilizing older drivers, and certainly racers with a few more competitions under their belts. The answer, perhaps, is hidden in comments made by Florian Modlinger, Director of Factory Motorsport Formula E. "The energy management [of Formula E cars] is complex, which means that the mental challenges in particular are incredibly tough in Formula E. This reduces the pool of potential drivers." Thinking about regen and energy usage, according to Modlinger, isn't a skill every racer has. "While he was a guest in our simulator, we were particularly impressed by how he interacted with the engineers," he says of Weiss. He goes on to say that the 16-year-old "comes across as a much more mature racing driver." Experience is just one component of victory on the track. Especially in a budding motorsport like Formula E, there are other variables OEMs and teams need to account for when choosing drivers. All eyes will definitely be on Weiss come the July rookie test, especially with rival teams placing older and more experienced drivers in the same position. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.

Report – AC Milan Lead Inter Milan & Juventus In The Race To Sign Italy U21 Star
Report – AC Milan Lead Inter Milan & Juventus In The Race To Sign Italy U21 Star AC Milan are reportedly leading Inter Milan and Juventus in the race to sign Parma defender Giovanni Leoni. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that a sale of Malick Thiaw could enable the Rossoneri to move for the teenager. Advertisement It is certainly no secret that Giovanni Leoni is attracting transfer interest. Parma only signed the teenage defender last summer. Reportedly they paid Sampdoria a fee of around €7 million. However, that bet looks to have paid off in a big way for the Gialloblu. Giovanni Leoni enjoyed an outstanding season with Parma. Particularly towards the end of the campaign. The 18-year-old looked extremely comfortable at the heart of Parma's defense as they avoided relegation under Cristian Chivu. AC Milan Lead Inter & Juventus In The Race For Giovanni Leoni PARMA, ITALY – DECEMBER 01: Giovanni Leoni of Parma Calcio during the Serie A match between Parma and SS Lazio at Stadio Ennio Tardini on December 01, 2024 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Inter Milan reportedly want to reunite Leoni with Chivu this summer. Advertisement Meanwhile, Juventus are also eyeing up a deal for the 18-year-old. Considering all this interest from big clubs, it is little surprise that Parma are aiming to cash in big. Reportedly, the Gialloblu want a fee of at least €30 million for Leoni. And it could be AC Milan who are in the strongest position to pay that. As the Corriere notes, Como want to sign defender Malick Thiaw from the Rossoneri. This deal would be for a fee of around €25 million. If Milan are to cash in on Thiaw, then they could quickly reinvest the fee for the German in a move for Leoni. Moreover, the Corriere note, Milan could offer teenage forward Mattia Liberali to Parma as part of a deal for Leoni.
