Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach is seen as a vital component to Leeds United\u2019s 2025\/26 plans in midfield next season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leeds United<\/a> are in search of additions and the giant Anton Stach could be a part of a double Leeds midfield deal<\/a> imminently.<\/p>\n

Graham Smyth believes Stach is a \u2018prime candidate\u2019 target of Leeds<\/a>\u00a0following our initial suggestion that\u00a0Leeds should be eyeing a deal for Stach<\/a>\u00a0this summer.<\/p>\n

Leeds fans are \u2018moved\u2019 at the Stach links<\/a>\u00a0so far. A giant and powerful midfielder,\u00a0Leeds supporters convinced Stach will be a success<\/a>\u00a0over Habib Diarra or Noah Sadiki.<\/p>\n

Spotted in Hoffenheim training recently, Stach<\/a> and Leeds are yet to seal an agreement amid claims Stach is \u201cconsidering\u201d a switch to Leeds<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The other thing to resolve is the price, with one report from March stating that the\u00a0Hoffenheim midfielder will cost Leeds a maximum of \u00a317 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

German outlet Bild<\/a>\u00a0report that Hoffenheim have set an asking price of over \u20ac20 million for Stach, who is beginning to attract further interest.<\/p>\n

That would be at least \u00a317 million as opposed to a maximum of that price. The report also states Hoffenheim have yet to receive any sort of offers for Stach, but the window has only just opened.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also claimed that Hoffenheim would prefer to keep Stach heading into this season, but if a club does show an interest in him, the Bundesliga outfit will demand \u201cover \u20ac20 million for the midfielder\u201d.<\/p>\n

The rationale for the increase since March is that they know players of similar quality have already been sold for more in recent windows.<\/p>\n

He works best as a box-to-box or defensive midfielder but he has deputised as a central defender on occasion as well. Leeds would utilise him as a number-eight or number-six in this scenario.<\/p>\n

His availability is outstanding,\u00a0with Stach having played 29 games or more in each of his four Bundesliga campaigns in a variety of different roles.\u00a0The German top flight has 34 league fixtures in a season.<\/p>\n\nTeam<\/td>\nLeague<\/td>\nAppearances<\/td>\nGoals<\/td>\nAssists<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nVfL Osnabr\u00fcck II<\/td>\nOberliga Niedersachsen<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSSV Jeddeloh II<\/td>\nRegionalliga Nord<\/td>\n27<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nVfL Wolfsburg II<\/td>\nRegionalliga Nord<\/td>\n40<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSpVgg Greuther F\u00fcrth<\/td>\n2.

Anton Stach\u2019s career stats (all comps)<\/p>\n

His sheer frame and size could help raise the floor of Leeds\u2019 team, while he is technically secure enough to be a ceiling-raiser for this team as well.<\/p>\n

Leeds would utilise him as either a box-to-box player in a 4-3-3 or as one of a double-pivot in a 4-2-3-1. However, he could also operate as a centre-back in an emergency situation.<\/p>\n

Getting the most out of his ability to break up play and then drive with the ball by carrying it into attacking areas is absolutely paramount for Daniel Farke.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach is seen as a vital component to Leeds United\u2019s 2025\/26 plans in midfield next…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251280,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[92679,748,393,4884,1860,100,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-251279","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-anton-stach","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-transfer-news","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114824380985917748","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
