Oliver Burke: 'RB Leipzig can win Bundesliga'

Scotland international Oliver Burke insists that newly-promoted RB Leipzig can win the Bundesliga title this season.

Scotland international Oliver Burke has insisted that RB Leipzig can win the Bundesliga this season.

The newly-promoted outfit have recorded seven wins from their opening 10 league games this term, with a total of 24 points leaving them level at the top of the Bundesliga with champions Bayern Munich.

Burke, who joined RB Leipzig from Nottingham Forest in the summer, responded "of course" when asked whether the Bulls could upset the odds to claim silverware this term.

"It's an amazing feeling to be second in the Bundesliga at the moment and still doing so well and comfortably winning matches as well as a team. We are doing very well and it is great," he told Sky Sports News. "Can we win the Bundesliga? Me personally, I believe we can, of course.

"But we can't think about that too much, we have to concentrate and go into each game and give 100% and still keep working hard on the training field. But everybody strives for the top and everybody wants to win trophies, medals and stuff so why not?

"I want to win the Bundesliga and I want to win it with RB Leipzig. Why not? We have the players, the quality; we have a great team so there is no reason why we can't. For sure, it is a good shout to be in the Champions League but we take every game as it comes and we keep working hard and certainly we will get there with our hard work and dedication."

Burke, who is believed to have turned down a host of Premier League interest to join RB Leipzig, has scored once in eight Bundesliga appearances this season.
