RB Leipzig continue to improve: Henrichs now official

It had been taken as a given and it has finally become official. RB Leipzig announced the arrival of Benjamin Henrichs on Wednesday, a German full-back from Monaco.

It is the Bundesliga side's second signing of the day after Hee-Chan Hwang, who will strengthen the German team's attack.

Henrichs is a RB who came from the Bayer Leverkusen youth academy and who reached the first team in 2015-16 at just 19.

His good seasons in the Bundesliga pushed Monaco to pay 20 million euros for his signing in 2018. The side needed to rejuvenate their squad and Henrichs was a good option.

However, the wing-back hasn't finished adapting. Despite playing 44 matches, he hasn't become undisputable and his performance has been discrete.

RB Leipzig will try to recover the best version of the 23-year-old player, who became a German international in 2017 and has a good name in his country.
