Luka Reischl is thriving in The Hague: A goalscorer on the way up!

Luka Reischl, the talented 21-year-old striker, has put in impressive performances in the first few weeks of his loan spell with ADO Den Haag in the Dutch second division. After his move from FC Red Bull Salzburg in January, Reischl scored four goals and provided two assists in just seven games. But at the beginning of March, the Austrian U21 international's rise came to an abrupt halt due to a broken collarbone. However, in this short period of time, the footballer has attracted a lot of attention and it seems as if his journey in The Hague could continue should the club exercise their option to buy laola1.at reported.

Hopes for promotion with ADO The Hague

In his second game for The Hague, Reischl provided an assist before scoring a goal in the following games against well-known promotion hopefuls such as Volendam and De Graafschap. Last weekend he crowned his achievements with the decisive goal in the 1-0 home win against the second team from Ajax Amsterdam. With this success, ADO Den Haag catapulted itself to fourth place in the Eerste Divisie, just one point behind second place and six points behind leaders Volendam. The striker's performance has brought the club back into the promotion battle; The Hague was most recently represented in the highest league, the Eredivisie, in the 2020/21 season.

Reischl himself was positive about his time in The Hague: "I feel very comfortable there and also really liked the football. The league, the fans - that was a cool experience." Those responsible at The Hague now have a clear picture of him, which could increase the chances of future cooperation. The ÖFB player's loan contract runs until the summer of 2025, and his contract with Red Bull Salzburg runs until 2026. The level and efficiency of the team in his first games could have the decisive influence on a possible contract extension if The Hague were to achieve promotion to the Eredivisie, as is the case 12termann.at reported.
