Luca de Meester storms to SV Sandhausen: A creative talent for the future!
A promising talent is moving on in Cologne football. SV Sandhausen today announced the signing of Luca de Meester, a 21-year-old midfielder who is embarking on a new path in the upcoming 2025/26 season. The move from regional league team Viktoria Köln to Sandhausen seems to be an exciting challenge for de Meester, and coach Olaf Janßen is sure that the creative offensive player has great potential for development. MRN News reports that de Meester can be used both in the center and on the wings - a real plus for the team.
De Meester, who learned his footballing basics in the youth ranks of 1. FC Köln, last played for Viktoria Köln for four years. There he was able to score an impressive five goals and two assists in 40 competitive games. In the Victoria U19 team he contributed to a successful period with 10 goals in 31 games. His journey through the different age groups and leagues shows how important a solid education is in a performance-oriented environment. Victoria Cologne emphasizes that de Meester is ready for a new challenge as the time has come to take the next steps in his development.
A tolerated new beginning in Sandhausen
In Sandhausen, de Meester will not only meet old acquaintances - such as his new assistant coach Dominik Idel and colleague Kwabe Schulz - but also an environment that could help him achieve his goals. He is grateful for the support he received at Viktoria Köln and sees great potential for his football career in the new environment. As he himself explained, the relationship with coach Janßen was an additional incentive to leave his mark at Sandhausen.
This transfer makes it clear that talent development is becoming increasingly important in German football. DFB and DFL are currently working on optimizing the training structures and support measures in the performance centers in order to increase the number of self-trained players. It's a nice confirmation for young talents like de Meester that they have the chance to establish themselves in the professional scene.
