RB Leipzig have announced the signing of David Raum from Hoffenheim on a five-year contract.
Raum was the standout attacking wing-back in the Bundesliga last season, leading all defenders in chances created (83), assists (11) and expected assists (13.9).
The Germany left-back also scored three times in 32 games to attract the attention of a number of leading clubs.
It is Leipzig who have landed Raum, with the right-footed Benjamin Henrichs having played on the left in Saturday’s 5-3 DFL-Supercup defeat to Bayern Munich.
Raum appears set to compete with Angelino on that flank, with Nordi Mukiele’s departure for Paris Saint-Germain leaving an opening on the right.
A new arrival at the Red Bull Arena…
