RB Leipzig: Even Arsenal interested in Lukas Klostermann - change unlikely

Arsenal scouts watching Klostermann
The extension to the hunted of international clubs like Liverpool Emil Forsberg has recently made it clear that RB Leipzig with its economic and sporting conditions certainly can compete with strong competitors and must be drawn not achievers.

Nevertheless, some of the many young players the Red Bulls of course the focus of other clubs.Currently this is especially true for Lukas Klostermann, which was first brought in the past week with Tottenham Hotspur in connection and now, according to Bild the interest of Arsenal. The Gunners are due Klostermann a scout for top game at SC Freiburg (1: 2) sent three weeks ago.

Looking ahead into the middle?
That leaves the Leipzig 19-year-old who has developed excellently its obligation from VfL Bochum in the summer of 2014 and is still standing until 2018 under contract draw, but is highly unlikely, especially as the Red Bulls are not dependent on transfer income.

Rather, designed as a central defender Klostermann, who is currently one of the best right-back in the 2. Bundesliga would probably also planned ascent case as a constant. And medium to long term it is planned in Leipzig comfortable with it, the extremely fast defensive man from the side to the center to draw. Given these perspectives should also Klostermann themselves currently have no great interest in Arsenal or Tottenham complement players and one to be led by many talents.

19 year old German under-21 international. 6 foot 2 and very quick, primarily plays right-back but is being groomed for a career as a centre-back. He's been ever present for RB Leipzig, who currently sit in second place in the Bundesliga 2. He's the third youngest player in the Germany U21 squad, but started the last two games, and already has five caps at that level. According to the article above we sent scouts to watch him, but because Leipzig are filthy rich (owned by Red Bull) they'll have no interest in selling, and the player wouldn't want to leave a club with genuine ambition.

If we do sign him, it might be with a view to having him learn his craft as a centre-back under Per and Kos, while getting exposure in League Cup games. He's tall enough, lightning fast (apparently he can run 30m 0.08 seconds quicker than Usain Bolt) and decent going forward, with 1 goal and 4 assists mostly playing right-back.

Sp**s and Ajax are also interested apparently.
