RB Leipzig’s Conrad Harder set to join Strasbourg

Danish forward Conrad Harder (21) is set to join RC Strasbourg Alsace on a season-long loan, as per a report from Foot Mercato.

Strasbourg may not get Joaquin Panichelli back before the end of the calendar year. The Argentine forward shone during his first season with Le Racing but sustained an ACL injury in March. In his absence, as well as those of Emanuel Emegha and David Datro Fofana, who both left the club during the summer, there is a lack of depth in the forward position at the Meinau.

Sékou Mara started the club's opener, despite being heavily linked with an exit. Jacobo Ortega joined from Real Madrid's academy and started in Saturday's win over RC Lens. However, another attacker is now set to arrive. As per Foot Mercato, an agreement has been struck between RB Leipzig and Strasbourg for Harder's loan. The Dane is expected in Alsace on Sunday in order to undergo a medical.
