LASK gears up to defend Austrian title and hunts for new striker

Seventy‑five days after lifting the Austrian championship, LASK begins the new Bundesliga season as the defending champion. The club opens the campaign on Friday, aiming to retain the title while also competing in three domestic tournaments.

To strengthen their attack, LASK announced a search for a new forward, citing the need for additional offensive options ahead of the demanding schedule. The club’s ambitions include a return to the Champions League, and they expect the new signing to play a key role in the title‑defence push.
