The German Bundesliga club RB Leipzig has made a major signing in the form of Argentine forward Lucache, who is set to join the club on loan from French side AS Monaco.
Lucache is a highly rated prospect in European football and has been tipped as one of the brightest young talents in South America. He has already made a name for himself at the age of just 19, scoring 27 goals in 48 appearances for his club last season.
For RB Leipzig, this move is a big boost to their attacking options. The German club have struggled with goals this season, having only managed two wins in their first six games. However, Lucache could be exactly what they need to turn things around.
AS Monaco, meanwhile, will be relieved to see their star forward leave the club. Lucache was a key part of their attack last season, netting 16 goals in all competitions. However, he had fallen out of favour under new manager Vahid Halilhodžić, and it was decided that he would benefit from playing regular football elsewhere.
With Lucache now at RB Leipzig, the club can look forward to another exciting season ahead. He should bring some much-needed creativity and goal-scoring prowess to their attack, and help them challenge for honours come the end of the campaign. It remains to be seen how he adapts to life in Germany, but there is no doubt that he will make a significant impact on the Bundesliga this season.
