Lustenau are looking to strengthen their squad during the winter break. There is already a lot of speculation on the internet, but the only test player on board at the moment is ex-Altacher Daniel Nussbaumer, who has returned home after four years in Portugal.

The Swiss soccer portal 4-4-2.ch writes that striker Junior Eyamba has received an offer from Austria Lustenau. The 23-year-old Swiss was under contract with Polish first division club Slask Wroclaw until the beginning of the year, but terminated this prematurely.

However, Lustenau coach Markus Mader is not yet aware of any possible transfer. "But our sporting director has announced that test players will be arriving in the next few days. It's possible that Eyamba will be there." Sporting director Mirco Papaleo has put together a pool of interesting players, at least some of whom will be invited to trial training. "But if a new player comes in, everything has to fit, otherwise there's no point in signing him," says Mader, confirming that the current squad has sufficient development potential.

A familiar face
For the time being, Daniel Nussbaumer is training with the Lustenau team. The Bregenzerwald native returned to his home country after four years in Portugal. Nussbaumer is looking for a new club and would not be averse to playing for Lustenau. The 25-year-old striker moved from Altach to Academico Viseu in the second-highest Portuguese league in the summer of 2021.
