Bayer Leverkusen confirm Luca Erlein loan to Energie Cottbus | OneFootball

Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed that new signing Luca Erlein has joined Energie Cottbus on loan, the club said.

The move places the German U19 international in Bundesliga two, which is viewed as a strong setting for his development. Energie Cottbus were promoted for the coming season and are reinforcing their squad before kick-off.

Erlein featured for Germany at the U19 Euros this summer, playing every minute. Germany finished runners-up to Spain in the tournament.

Leverkusen hope the spell at Cottbus helps Erlein take the next step by earning regular minutes in Bundesliga two. They consider his development promising and are confident he can progress to the Bundesliga in due course.

He will now link up with Cottbus as they prepare for the new campaign.
