Leeds United are attempting to complete a deal with Hoffenheim to secure the signing of Anton Stach.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Whites look to have already bolstered their midfield this summer, after finally agreeing a deal for the signing of Sean Longstaff<\/a> from Newcastle United.<\/p>\n But Daniel Farke is keen to add further depth to his options, with Stach among the targets under consideration at Elland Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n Leeds have already made several signings this summer, including Swedish left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson. <\/p>\n Leeds\u2019 midfield was a key area of attention for transfer chiefs at Elland Road ahead of the summer. <\/p>\n The departures of Joe Rothwell<\/a> and Joshua Guilavogui had left Farke\u2019s options lacking, with a long and strenuous Premier League season requiring depth.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The signing of Longstaff will add a much-needed font of league experience to the Leeds midfield, but further additions are required.<\/p>\n The Whites have now turned to Hoffenheim midfielder Stach<\/a> with talks underway, according to Sky Sports in Germany (July 16).<\/p>\n Bundesliga club Stuttgart are also interested in the midfielder, but the feeling at Hoffenheim is that Stach is set to join Leeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n No agreement has been reached yet, and the Sinsheim-based club are expected to demand around \u00a317.5million plus bonuses. <\/p>\n Personal terms between Stach and Leeds have already been agreed<\/a>, with the 26-year-old ready to make the switch.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8\ud83c\udd95 New talks took place on Wednesday between Leeds and Hoffenheim regarding a possible transfer of Anton #Stach<\/a>. Stuttgart have also registered their interest and held talks. However, the feeling at Hoffenheim is that Stach is set to join Leeds. #LUFC<\/a> <\/p>\n Hoffenheim have not yet\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/k5kKXEX182<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) July 16, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Stach would add necessary mettle<\/strong><\/p>\n The Premier League is arguably the most physically demanding footballing league in the world.<\/p>\n Jam-packed with teams capable of endless pressing and full of tall, strong midfielders, it can be a difficult home for the lighter technicians.<\/p>\n Stats via FBref<\/p>\n Leeds\u2019 pursuit of Stach<\/a> would work to directly counteract that. The German is rugged, and gritty. <\/p>\n Long-legged and sturdy, the midfielder can often be spotted diving into challenges and using his body to shrug off his opposing man. <\/p>\n But that is not to undermine his technical ability, with Stach capable of finding long, raking passes across the pitch to an on-running winger.<\/p>\n The Germany international also possesses a key trait for Leeds eyes, availability \u2013 Stach rarely misses a match through injury and was largely ever-present for Hoffenheim last season.<\/p>\n Sign up for the\u00a0MOT Leeds News WhatsApp channel<\/a>\u00a0and turn on notifications to have all the latest, breaking Leeds United news sent straight to your phone.<\/p>\n Related Posts<\/p>\n ![\"Daniel](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/leeds-united-manager-daniel-farke-1-1024x576.png\")
