Moussa Doumbouya is set to transfer from Rot-Weiss Essen to Sportfreunde Lotte for the upcoming season. The 27-year-old forward is looking to regain his form at Lotter Kreuz. Although he was limited to nine matches last season due to injuries, he brings with him the experience of 69 third-division and ten second-division appearances for clubs such as Essen, FC Ingolstadt, and Hannover 96. The transfer is regarded as a significant boost to Lotte's offensive lineup. Coach Fabian Lübbers expressed confidence in Doumbouya's robustness, dueling strength, and scoring ability, emphasizing that Doumbouya's familiarity with the 3. Liga level and his proven quality make him an ideal fit for their attacking system. Lübbers highlighted Doumbouya's experience and style of play as perfect for their needs. The transfer is seen as a strategic move for the Regionalligist, who aims to build a formidable squad for the next season.
