Austrian side Blau-Weiß Linz have engaged Ghanaian youngster Samuel Oppong on loan.
The 19-year old joins the side from Rapid Wien in their quest of strengthening the team for the upcoming season.
After the loan season, Blau-Weiß Linz will be given the option to buy him on a permanent basis.
“I will give out goals as I want to celebrate success with the team – and I also want to personally develop myself” said the teenager.
Originally Samuel Oppong was a Bodenturner, but then decided for the football. He was finally discovered by RapidScouts in a cage in the Penzing district of Vienna.
One of the absolute strengths of the 19-year-old is his speed, which he is to prove on the outside track. Oppong was lent for a year by Rapid, after which there is a purchase option.
Most recently, Oppong was awarded to Admira Wacker, where he played for the amateur team in the Regionalliga East. For Austrian junior national teams, he completed 14 games.
