Leeds United are trying to secure more new signings before the Premier League season begins.
The Whites have recruited well so far this summer, but it’s widely accepted that more new faces are needed to give them the best chance of avoiding relegation.
With that in mind, fans may be excited to hear about the latest developments in the club’s pursuit of Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach.

Leeds have been linked with Stach for a while, but have yet to submit an official bid for him yet.
There should be nothing preventing them from doing so soon, though, as Hoffenheim have named the price that they’re willing to sell him for.
A report from the Sunday Mirror (13 July, page 76) suggests Leeds will have to pay £17.25 million if they want Stach in their midfield.
This represents a significant development in Leeds’ pursuit of the German international, with whom they have said to have held talks over.
Hoffenheim were initially reluctant to sell their star midfielder, but are now focusing on generating as much cash for him as possible.
Leeds may have competition in their efforts to sign him though, as Eintracht Frankfurt are also believed to be interested in making a bid.

There’s clearly a lot of talent in Leeds’ squad, considering they collected 100 points on their way to becoming Championship winners.
However, the recruitment of Stach would bring Leeds up to the next level.

At 26 years old, Stach is reaching his peak as a player, and he would certainly appear to have all the attributes to thrive in the Premier League. He has two Germany caps but is certainly capable of adding to that tally.
Leeds’ pursuit of Stach is testament to their desire to remain in the top division. A £17m transfer is no small chunk of change but the 49ers group have committed to backing Daniel Farke in the transfer market. Based on Stach’s performances in the Bundesliga and the Europa League, this would appear to be a good investment.
With the asking price revealed, Leeds fans will be hoping that an official bid is made soon.
