Liam Rosenior, the coach of the Racing Club in Strasbourg, expressed his enthusiasm for the 19-year-old Danish central defender Lucas Hogsberg. The arrival of Hogsberg, bought at FC Nordsjælland for 15 million euros, is seen as a strong signal of the club’s ambition. Rosenior highlights the important work done to attract the player, testifying to the increasing attractiveness of Strasbourg for talent. He highlights Hogsberg’s outstanding potential and crucial role in the team, expressing his impatience to work with him. Hogsberg, who signed a five-season contract, started his professional career at 16 and moved to Danish Superliga last season.

At the press conference following the draw against Mainz, Rosenior skipped questions about team composition for the next match in Metz by suggesting, with a hint of irony, new recruits to come. This answer suggests the sustained activity of Racing in the transfer market. The team has already recorded 13 arrivals, including purchases after loans and the return of Mamadou Sarr, the last of which is Lucas Hogsberg. Rosenior preferred not to unveil his plans for next week, leaving doubt about other potential movements.

The arrival of Lucas Hogsberg is part of a policy of increasing the strength of Racing, which aims to build a competitive team for Ligue 1. The club seems determined to invest in promising young talent, as demonstrated by this 19-year-old recruit. Rosenior’s enthusiasm and significant financial investment in Hogsberg underscore the importance the club attaches to this new acquisition and its potential to contribute to the team’s success. The Racing Club de Strasbourg therefore continues its mercato with the hope of positioning itself as a major player in French football.
