Sent on loan to RB Leipzig for the rest of the season, Angeliño hasn’t taken long to get used to his new surroundings.
The Manchester City defender has played all but one of the games he has been eligible for at the German club, quickly making the left-hand side of the team his own.
Leipzig are yet to lose in the Bundesliga since his arrival, and he topped his good performances with a goal over the weekend as they destroyed David Wagner’s Schalke 04 5-0 away from home.
Bursting into the box from deep, Angeliño scored the fourth of the rout with a low-driven shot across Alexander Nübel, and his 270 minutes haven’t gone unnoticed by the press, who are already asking about the option in the loan to make the move permanent.
However, Markus Krösche, Leipzig’s director of football, isn’t in any rush to make a decision about the Manchester City player, which he made clear to Kicker after the game.
He said: “Angeliño learns very quickly. He hasn’t been there long, but his achievements show how intelligent the boy is and the quality he has.
“We deliberately incorporated the options in both contracts (Angeliño’s and Patrik Schick’s) so that we have enough time to make an informed decision. We don’t have to make a decision under pressure. Not next week, not in two weeks and not in four weeks. Both are definitely players with whom we can imagine continuing to work”.
Angeliño is available to Leipzig for around €20m from Manchester City at any time during his loan deal.
