Lukas Klostermann

Lukas is a big fan of riding bicycles. He's seen riding them to training on plenty of occasions. Cars are overrated.

The up and coming defender was born to parents who were both athletes; his father ran a 110m hurdles champion and his mother, an all round runner. He has a sister, Lisa, who’s also a footballer. Klostermann began playing football when he was five or six years. He played for various youth teams at FSV Gevelsberg, SSV Hagen and VfL Bochum. By the end of June, it was revealed that the right back had yet to sign a professional contract, leading to a start of negotiating. In August 2014 it was announced that Lukas and VfL Bochum had failed to reach an agreement and newly promoted Red Bull Leipzig pounced on this opportunity to snap up the coveted defender. In early 2015, the German started the season, playing in the right–back position for the side and soon became the club’s first choice throughout the season. In August 2015, Klostermann was called up for the Germany U21 for the first time. In June 2019, he was called up by Germany U21 for the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Italy. The full back started all four matches and helped Germany U21 side reach the final. He received his first call up to the senior national team in March 2019 for the friendly match against Serbia and UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying match against the Netherlands.
