Sku Amstetten secures top reinforcement: Kuffour from Zwickau!

Amstetten, Österreich - An exciting chapter for Sku Amstetten begins: The association has signed Lloyd-Addo Kuffour from FSV Zwickau. The 23-year-old defensive player changes from the Regionalliga Nordost (Germany) and will play a central role in defense in the coming season. Kuffour has already gained a lot of experience in his career and is characterized by its flexibility: it can be used both as a left defender as well as in central defense and in the left midfield. Sports director Thomas Gebauer describes him as a highly agreed player with excellent football training and highlights his valuable experience in the men's area, which will be of great benefit to Amstetten. Kuffour himself is positive about the conversations with the club and looks forward to gaining new experiences abroad and taking on the challenge that the league brings. Laola1 reports about this promising change.

How did this change come about? Kuffour started his career at Boy's Hannover 96 and switched to the big Borussia Dortmund in 2016. His stations led him to Red Weiss Ahlen via Optik Rathenow and TSV Steinbach Haiger before moving to Zwickau last summer. There he was able to score his first goal in 21 regional league games, as a match winner. His goal against Hansa Rostock II was both surprising and significant for the FSV, whose coach Rico Schmitt was enthusiastic about the performance of his team. Zwickau recently made an impressive series in which you were able to achieve five wins from the last six games. There was only a defeat against SV Babelsberg 03. The question remains how Kuffour will beat in the new league after he has already demonstrated his achievements in Germany.

A look at the Regionalliga Nordost

The Regionalliga Nordost shows itself in an exciting competition in which players like Kuffour demonstrate their skills. The level is high and the challenges in many ways. Kuffour considers the next opponent of Zwickau, FC Energie Cottbus, to be a serious opponent in the promotion race for the 3rd division. A look at the Transfermarkt shows how dynamically the reins can pull in the lower leagues. Not only the game results are crucial here, but also the transfers that always bring a breath of fresh air to the teams.

For Sku Amstetten, it is certainly a step in the right direction to have a talented player like Kuffour in your own ranks. Many supporters are now wondering: Will he quickly get used to the new environment and push his stamp on the game of Amstettner? The anticipation for the upcoming games is great.
