Christoph Baumgartner, Benjamin Sesko, Nicolas Seiwald, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Leopold Zingerle, Xavi Simons, Fábio Carvalho and Loïs Openda. RB Leipzig’s summer transfer window looks great. Third in the Bundesliga in the previous exercise and qualified for the next Champions League, the residents of the Red Bull Arena, who have also lost many executives such as Josko Gvardiol, transferred to Manchester City, Dominik Szoboszlai, now in the colors of Liverpool, but also Christopher Nkunku, who left for Chelsea, intend to join in the final fight for the title of German champion during this 2023-2024 season.
To do this, the band at Marco Rose – opposed to Bayern Munich next Saturday in the German Super Cup – could well rely on his new offensive weapon. Her name ? Lois Openda. Arrived during the summer from RC Lens, the one who had scored 21 goals in 38 Ligue 1 days, becoming the Sang et Or top scorer in one exercise, did not take long to export his talent overseas. Rhine. Brilliant during the summer preparation of his family, the native of Liège is already proving his ability to carry the RBL attack over the next few weeks.
Openda has already slammed 7 times!
Decisive against Udinese for his first outing with the RBL, the Belgian international (9 caps, 2 goals) did it again a few days later against the modest team of VSG Altglienicke (German D4). A capital performance where the former center forward of FC Bruges made everyone agree. Result, a quadruple and two assists. Certainly, these statistics are to be highlighted with the proposed adversity but they confirm that the Red Devil has lost none of his composure. Especially since the latter has, once again, struck this Saturday.
During a friendly match against Las Palmas, Openda went there with their double to allow their team to easily win 3-0. Two weeks before the resumption of the championship and an already perilous trip to the lawn of Bayer Leverkusen, the Belgian has therefore totaled 7 goals in just 4 appearances… A dream debut. To the delight of Marco Rose and his management. Yes, the replacement for Christopher Nkunku already seems to have found everything.
