Austrian giants LASK Linz are considering a move for a new forward following the injury sustained by Ghanaian striker Samuel Tetteh.

The Black-Whites had already completed its squad planning for the upcoming season.

But a knee injury threatening to condemn Tetteh to several months on the sidelines has triggered the club to reconsider options available on the market.

Further diagnosis will determine whether the striker needs to be operated on the meniscus. If so, the club will probably move to sign  a new attacker.

The 21-year-old Ghanaian was loaned to LASK by RB Salzburg for a year and a half in the winter and has scored five goals and six assists in 16 games.
