Lukas Manuel Klostermann (born 3 June 1996) is a German footballer who plays as a defender for RB Leipzig.[2]

Career

VfL Bochum

Born in Herdecke, Germany, Klostermann played for various youth teams at FSV Gevelsberg, SSV Hagen and VfL Bochum.[3] While at FSV Gevelsberg, he played in various position before settling in playing defensive position at VfL Bochum.[3]

After progressing through VfL Bochum’s youth system, Klostermann was promoted to the U19 side and then VfL Bochum II.[4] At some point, he signed a contract with the club, keeping him until 2015.[5] He made his debut for the club, coming on as a second–half substitute, in a 2–0 win over VfR Aalen on 14 March 2014.[6] At the time of his debut, he appeared at just 17 years and 283 days.[7] Towards the end of the 2013–14 season, Klostermann pushed Paul Freier out of the first team over a right–back position.[8] His handful of first team appearances resulted him being named the club’s Player of the Month for May.[9] At the end of the 2013–14 season, he made nine appearances for the side.

By the end of June, it was revealed that Klostermann had yet to sign a professional contract, leading to a start of negotiating.[10] In August 2014 it was announced that Klostermann and VfL Bochum had failed to reach an agreement regarding the extension of his contract.[11]

RB Leipzig

Subsequently, he did not play another game for Bochum and on 22 August 2014 it was announced that he would transfer to RB Leipzig.[12] He signed for Leipzig on a four-year deal until 2018.[13]

Shortly after joining RB Leipzig, Klostermann was assigned to the U19 and RB Leipzig II.[14] He made his RB Leipzig debut against Erzgebirge Aue in the second round of DFB-Pokal on 29 October 2014 but scored an own–goal and helped the side win 3–1 later in the game.[15] It wasn’t until on 12 December 2014 when he made his league debut for the club, where he came on as a late substitute, in a 1–0 win over Greuther Fürth.[16] He then made his first start for RB Leipzig on 6 February 2015, in a 2–2 draw against Erzgebirge Aue.[17] Towards the end of the 2014–15 season, Klostermann was given a handful of first team appearances following the club’s defensive crisis.[18] He then scored his first goal for the club on 24 April 2015, in a 2–1 win over Darmstadt 98.[19] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Klostermann went on to make a total of 15 appearances and scoring once in all competitions.

In the 2015–16 season, Klostermann started the season, playing in the right–back position for the side[20] and set up a goal for Davie Selke, in a 2–2 draw against Greuther Fürth on Matchday 2.[21] He then scored his first goal of the season, in a 2–1 win over 1860 Munich on 13 March 2016.[22] Klostermann later helped the club get promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time after beating Karlsruher SC 2–0 on 8 May 2016.[23] Despite missing out three matches, due to injuries, later in the 2015–16 season, [24] Klostermann went on to make a total of 31 appearances and scoring once in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2016–17 season, Klosterman was linked with a move away from RB Leipzig, as Premier League duo Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal showed interest.[25] However, his season was overshadowed with injuries.[26] He only made one (and only) appearance this season, starting the whole game, in a 1–0 win over Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 2.[27] While rehabilitating his injuries, Klostermann signed a contract extension with the club, keeping him until 2021.[28] It wasn’t until May 2017 when he returned to training with the first team on a full recovery.[29]

The 2017–18 season saw Klostermann regaining his first team place at RB Leipzig, playing in the right–back position.[30] Despite his absence at the start of the season,[31] he scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–1 win over 1. FC Köln on 1 October 2017.[32]
