Squad planning at SC Austria Lustenau is almost complete. Only the right-back position is not yet doubly occupied by the promoted club – with Fabian Gmeiner being the sole player available for this position.

However, this situation could change in the coming days. According to a report from "FT", the club is interested in Cenny Neumann from 1. FC Köln.

Competition from 2. Bundesliga

The 19-year-old right-back is one of the absolute key players for Köln's second team. As a reward for his strong performances in the Regionalliga West, he even got a taste of Bundesliga action last season against Borussia Dortmund and Mönchengladbach.

As a loaned player, he is now expected to take the next step and recommend himself for a squad place in the first team. In addition to SC Austria Lustenau, German second-tier promoted club VfL Osnabrück is also said to have Neumann on their radar.
