Alemannia Aachen Prepares for 3. Liga Season with New Signings and Trial Players
As the 2025-26 3. Liga season approaches, Alemannia Aachen is gearing up for a challenging campaign, having lost their last two test matches against Patro Eisden Maasmechelen and Fortuna Düsseldorf. The team is keen to avoid a similar result in their opening match against VfL Osnabrück.
Sporting Director, Rachid Azzouzi, is focusing on strengthening the squad for the upcoming season. One prospective player under consideration is Emmanuel Elekwa, a 1.93m tall attacker who has been training with Alemannia Aachen this week. Elekwa, who is currently without a club since July 1, could be a cost-effective option for the team, as compared to other potential signings.
Elekwa's background includes youth systems at RB Leipzig and 1. FC Magdeburg, suggesting a strong developmental foundation. Last season, he played for Viktoria Berlin in the Regionalliga Nordost, scoring three goals and providing two assists in 31 games. If signed, Elekwa could provide Alemannia Aachen with a physical presence upfront and potential goal contributions, which may help the team's attacking options in the competitive 3. Liga environment.
However, as of early August 2025, Elekwa is still on trial with Alemannia Aachen, and final decisions regarding his contract have not been announced. The exact impact he might have remains speculative and depends on whether he secures a contract and how quickly he adapts to the higher level of competition.
In addition to Elekwa, Azzouzi will work with Technical Director Erdal Celik to make adjustments to the squad. Valmir Sulejmani and Jeremias Lorch have already partially rejoined training, while Lamar Yarbrough is expected to follow later in the week.
Meanwhile, Bentley Baxter Bahn will miss the match in Osnabrück due to a small muscle fiber tear. Alemannia Aachen aims to avoid relegation in the second year after promotion to the 3. Liga, and earning points in their opening match will be crucial to achieving this goal.
The transfer deadline for Alemannia Aachen is on September 1, and the team is still being linked with prolific striker Lex Tyger Lobinger. However, Viktoria Köln is only likely to release him for a high transfer fee in the mid-six-figure range.
As Alemannia Aachen prepares for the new season, they will be hoping that their efforts to strengthen the squad and improve their performance will pay off and lead to a successful campaign in the 3. Liga.
Alemannia Aachen plans to bolster their squad with potential additions like Emmanuel Elekwa, a talented footballer who could bring scoring and assist opportunities to the team. Meanwhile, the club is also considering the acquisition of Lex Tyger Lobinger, although Viktoria Köln may demand a significant transfer fee for the prolific striker.
