FC Blau Weiß Linz are bolstering their squad ahead of next season and have swiftly captured the 19-year-old from Ausrian giant Austria Wein on a season long loan but with the option of purchasing him on a permanent deal next summer.

“I will give out goals as I want to celebrate success with the team – and I also want to personally develop myself” said the teenager.

Originally Samuel Oppong was a Bodenturner, but then decided for the football. He was finally discovered by RapidScouts in a cage in the Penzing district of Vienna.

One of the absolute strengths of the 19-year-old is his speed, which he is to prove on the outside track. Oppong was lent for a year by Rapid, after which there is a purchase option.

Samuel Oppong is now a blue-and-white! With the 19-year-old, a quick, talented wing player from the new generation of SK Rapid Vienna was committed. Welcome to the #Stahlstadtklub, the official twitter handle lamented.
