Leander Siemann (born 25 October 1995) is a German footballer who plays as a defender for Berliner AK 07.[1] In 2015 Siemann received a one-year suspension for using banned substances.

Club career

Born in Berlin, Siemann started his youth career with Hertha BSC, where he was described by youth manager Frank Vogel as ‘He is dynamic, strong and good in one-on-ones.’ In March 2011, he joined Arsenal academy for £220,000 after passing a one-week trial with the club.[2] In May 2014, he was released by the club.[3] He consequently joined Segunda Liga team Porto B.[4]

On 8 April 2015, it was announced that Siemann got a one-year suspension for using banned substances. It was the first doping case in Portugal in the last three years. He played 5 matches for Porto's reserve team and left the club at the end of the 2014–15 season.[5][6]

Siemann joined Berliner AK 07 in July 2018 on a one-year contract and left the club at the end of the season. However, he returned to the club on 3 September 2019, signing a contract for the 2019-20 season.[7]
