Leeds United are pushing to complete their deal to sign the fourth player this summer. The club have already signed three new faces to boost the quality in the team.
The Whites have added help from Red Bull, who have given the club an upper hand when it comes to players in Germany. Graeme Bailey revealed that Leeds’ affiliation with the industry giant means they have the scoop on most players available:

“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.”
Most of the players Leeds have targeted this window have gone smoothly. Aside Habib Diarra, most of the transfer deals have been wrapped up in days. Sunderland swooped in and paid a club record fee to sign the former Strasbourg star.

After missing out on Habib Diarra, and Noah Sadiki in the past few days, Leeds set their sights on Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach. The German is the latest midfield target on Daniel Farke’s list.
It is said that the 26-year old could complete a move to Elland Road later this week. But Stach very much remains a Hoffenheim player, and has two years left on his current deal.
What sources have said about move for Anton Stach?
Florian Plettenburg revealed on Tuesday that Leeds are yet to send an offer to sign the midfielder. According to him, the Whites have now reached out to begin initial talks. No fee or terms have been agreed at this time.

Anton Stach is a very good ball winner, this season, he has been arguably one of the best in the Bundesliga. He often wins the midfield battle for Hoffenheim with how skilled he is at keeping opponents off the ball.

When he has the ball, he has the ability to release the ball quickly. He is not a playmaker or a chance creator, but his ability to make a quick decision after winning possession is why he is rated highly across Europe.
