New signing Latte Lath in training camp Union Berlin welcomes Emmanuel Latte Lath to training camp in Austria. The striker joined from Atlanta United and will wear the number 29. Latte Lath passed the medical check in Köpenick on Friday and was officially announced on Sunday evening. On Monday, he joined the team in training camp in Aigen im Ennstal (Steiermark, Austria).

The first bus arrived at the Schlosshotel Pichlarn at 16:15, which is beautifully located on a hill. The second bus arrived half an hour later. In the evening, they went to the training ground in Irdning without the public, to loosen up. Although the exit was supposed to be kept secret, twenty Union fans managed to catch a glimpse of their stars and the new signing.

The striker joins on loan from MLS club Atlanta United. His last game for the club was two weeks ago, when they lost 0-1 to Nashville. Once Latte Lath has shaken off the travel fatigue, coach Mauro Lustrinelli (50) will have a striker in rhythm. The MLS is currently in the middle of the season. At Union, he will wear the number 29, and the Irons have a buy option.

Latte Lath comes from Drogba's hometown In the team, Latte Lath should be able to find his feet quickly. He speaks fluently four languages: French, which he knows from his home country of the Ivory Coast, as well as Italian, Spanish, and English, which he learned during his professional career. Interesting: Latte Lath comes from Abidjan like former pro and superstar Didier Drogba. Both were born in the largest city of the Ivory Coast on the Gulf of Guinea. The striker gene seems to be at home there.

What's next? Union Berlin currently stands 11th in the Bundesliga with 39 points. The Irons have 10 wins, 9 draws, and 15 losses from 34 games. In the current season, they have scored 44 goals and conceded 58. They are 50 points behind the leaders Bayern München.
