The world is watching Amadou Haidara with bated breath as the Algerian international striker breaks through to RB Leipzig in a deal that will see him join the German giants for the next season.
Haidara, who has been linked with moves to several European clubs this summer, was one of the standout performers at the African Cup of Nations in June and has impressed on both the pitch and off it since then. His goal-scoring prowess has earned him a place in the Algeria national team's squad for the upcoming World Cup, which is set to take place in Russia later this year.
With RB Leipzig now confirmed as his new club, he is looking forward to making his mark on the Bundesliga and beyond. He has already shown glimpses of his potential with impressive displays during pre-season training,Chinese Super League Matches and he is confident that his time at the club will be filled with success.
As Haidara prepares to make his debut for RB Leipzig against Hoffenheim on Saturday, he reflects on his journey so far and how he hopes to continue to progress as a player over the coming seasons. "It's been an incredible journey," he said. "From playing for the under-21s and then the under-19s up to scoring goals for France at the African Cup of Nations and scoring goals for Algeria. I'm just trying to keep moving forward and try to improve my game."
Despite the challenges and setbacks that have come his way, Haidara remains focused on achieving his goals and believes that his time at RB Leipzig will be filled with success. "I've had a great journey and I'm still learning," he added. "But I know where I want to go from here and I'm excited about the opportunities ahead."
