Austria has benefited greatly from Red Bull's relationship with football, which in recent years has benefited from the energy drink company, which has led to an influx of talent from the country into world football. In recent years, 24-year-old midfielder Lemmer has been one of the rising Austrian forces, who currently play for Bundesliga side Leipzig. Lemmer mainly plays in midfield, both at centre-back and defensive back, but can also play as a right winger if needed, and he has occasionally done so this season. In his first few years at the helm of Nagelsman, he was also placed at right-back, providing cover when the team needed it.
The midfielder is arguably the smartest player in Austria's golden generation alongside David Alaba, Sabitzer and Sintreg. Due to his versatility and efficiency, he has long been a target for several clubs, which is appreciated by many of his managers. Lemmer has had a great season so far, improving his performances after the dismissal of Jesse Mahe last December, and under Tedesko's leadership, he played a key role in Leipzig's revival.
He made his debut for the Austrian national team at the age of 17 and has been a mainstay of the team for the past few years. Last season was a tough one for Lemmer as he spent most of his time battling injuries, but he recovered form this season and had a positive impact on the team. Ronnick has realized his talent, having worked with him before, and he will continue to do so when the German takes over as head coach of the Austrian national team. Leimöll has scored five goals and six assists in 38 games this season, with Leipzig aiming to win the Europa League and the DFB-Pokal.
Several clubs have shown interest in Lemmer over the years, but the biggest talk in recent weeks has come from Manchester United, with current manager Ronnick a fan of the player. The energetic midfielder will adapt well to United's new plans for next season, even though Eric Ten Haag will take over as manager in the summer. Midfield is a position for the Red Devils that needs to be improved, and Lemmer can provide an all-round improvement if he can join. In addition to this, other Premier League clubs such as Arsenal and Tottenham are also interested, but no interest translates into offers. The player is valued at £23m, which is worth the money for a midfielder with unique qualities, age-appropriate and promising growth in the coming years.
