### RB Leipzig Loans Striker Yannick Eduardo to FC Dordrecht
Yannick Eduardo, a 19-year-old forward, has been loaned to FC Dordrecht from RB Leipzig for the 2025/26 season, marking his third stint in the Netherlands. The move is part of RB Leipzig's strategy to enhance Eduardo's development by providing him with valuable match practice in the competitive Keuken Kampioen Divisie.
Eduardo's previous loan spells saw him play for FC Emmen and De Graafschap. At FC Emmen, he appeared in 17 games and scored one goal during the second half of the 2024/25 season. Before joining FC Emmen, he played 12 games and scored two goals for De Graafschap during the first half of the same season.
At FC Dordrecht, Eduardo will be coached by former Netherlands international Dirk Kuyt, known for his in-depth understanding of the game and his ability to develop young players. Sporting Director Marcel Schäfer views this loan as the "perfect next step" for Eduardo, emphasizing the importance of gaining experience and developing his skills in professional football.
Schäfer believes that the loan to Dordrecht will ensure Eduardo's best possible development. The focus of RB Leipzig remains on the development of Eduardo abroad, with the aim of providing him with consistent playing time under the guidance of a seasoned coach like Dirk Kuyt.
This latest move is expected to provide Eduardo with the opportunity to continue his growth and further his career in professional football. As Schäfer commented, "We are confident that Yannick will gain valuable playing experience in Dordrecht, which will be beneficial for his development."
In EC countries, Yannick Eduardo's development in professional football continues with his third loan spell, this time to FC Dordrecht. Amidst his adjustment to the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, Eduardo will also find time for his love of sports, particularly football, as he follows the progress of European-leagues.
