With national player David Raum, the Kraichgauer – assuming that Konstantinos Stafylidis stays in Bochum on loan (to the news: Stafylidis can imagine another season at VfL) – only had one regular professional with a regular position on the left side of defense in the squad in the coming season. The homegrown Lyon team, which was only raised from the youth team last summer to represent OL as a second choice, is considered, like Raum, to be explosive and extremely strong in attack. “Physically, he is quite developed. He’s also more fit than he used to be because he’s strengthened his muscles. (…) I think he worked a lot between his time in the U16s and U18s,” said France’s U18 national coach Lionel Rouxel recently in the “RMC Sport” scouting podcast, describing the physical development of the 18-year-old.
