This has meant that the Whites have switched their attention to Hoffenheim’s Anton Stach. According to reports, everything is set for the midfielder to arrive in the next few days. Leeds are working quickly to make him their fourth signing of the summer.
Graeme Bailey has revealed that the reason the club has been able to close deals from the Bundesliga so quickly is their Red Bull connections.
“He’s on the list I’m told. Hoffenheim are not keen for him to go. Leeds aren’t the only ones interested from what I’m told. A very good player and obviously through Red Bull, Leeds are well-versed on him.” he told Leeds United News.
“They’re ahead of many other Premier League teams when it comes to German-based talent. So, it’s not a surprise, you know, it’s not going to be a huge surprise. If there’s a good one, Leeds know all about it.”
Anton Stach will be a valuable addition
In Stach, Leeds have found a valuable piece to add to their midfield. The German will add some real quality alongside the current options in the team.
