Official | Strasbourg sign Danish centre-back Lucas Hogsberg | OneFootball

RC Strasbourg Alsace have added some more youthfulness to their backline with Lucas Hogsberg (19) signing on Saturday.

The club officially announced his arrival, with the 19-year-old joining from Danish Superliga side Nordsjælland, with the youngster committing to the Alsatian club until 2030.

Hogsberg had generated plenty of interest from clubs outside Denmark this year, with Serie A side Como 1907 reportedly making him an offer for €10m in January, an offer which the Danish club rejected.

The fee to bring him over to Strasbourg is estimated to be around €15m, according to L’Équipe, which does not include bonuses. He’s the fourth centre-back that Le Racing have signed this summer, with the other being Mamdou Sarr (19) on loan from Chelsea, plus Andrew Omobamidele (23), who made a permanent move in June and Soumaïla Coulibaly (21), who made a four-year commitment in July.

Hogsberg came to Nordsjælland when he was only three, playing his first professional match at the club when he turned 16. He’s made two appearances for the Danish national team and was first called up in the UEFA Nations League quarter-final tie against Portugal back in March.
