Anton Stach\u2019s<\/a> solid start to life at Leeds United<\/a> sees him in with a chance of sneaking into Germany\u2019s 2026 World Cup plans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The international break has come to an end this week and Leeds didn\u2019t have a huge deal of their first team squad involved.<\/p>\n

Premier League performances will have a major bearing on the United squad\u2019s chances of featuring in the 2026 World Cup, including German international Anton Stach.<\/p>\n

\u201cExciting profile\u201d \u2013 Anton Stach tipped for World Cup callup by Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann<\/p>\n

A \u00a317.3million summer signing<\/a>, Stach is one of those that hopes a move to England helps his chances of international recognition.<\/p>\n

Despite leaving Germany, top form in the Premier League may catapult him right into Julian Nagelsmann\u2019s 2026 plans.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to SportBild<\/a>, who detail each player that holds an outside chance of a Germany call-up. Stach is included, naming the two-cap international as an ideal partner for \u00a339m-rated<\/a> Bayern Munich star Joshua Kimmich.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe last of only two international matches so far in the summer of 2022 [sic]. But a good start to the season with the newly promoted Premier League team, plus an exciting profile as a strong running midfielder and sweeper in front of the defence. <\/p>\n

\u201cNagelsmann is still looking for an ideal partner alongside captain Joshua Kimmich (30).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Anton Stach stats so far in the Premier League revealed \u2013 second in PL for chances created<\/p>\n

Stach came to Elland Road with a strong reputation in the Bundesliga as a player akin to Declan Rice\u2019s profile. His attributes have fed right into Leeds\u2019 focus on physicality, a 6ft4in ball-winner that has already covered ground immensely well.<\/p>\n

In breaking up play and getting forward well, Stach is Leeds\u2019 current chief creator of chances, and one of the best in the division too, something that could boost his Germany aspirations.<\/p>\nAnton Stach\u2019s 25\/26 PL stats<\/tr>\n\nAppearances<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTouches per 90<\/td>\n55.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nPass success<\/td>\n80.2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nShots (on target) <\/td>\n7 (1)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nChances created<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDuels won (%)<\/td>\n15 (60%)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAerial duels won (%)<\/td>\n4 (80%)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Only Man United\u2019s Bruno Fernandes (12) has created more chances in the first three games than Stach. Of the German\u2019s 10 created, seven have come from open play.<\/p>\n

Anton Stach could sneak into Germany\u2019s World Cup squad with Leeds United form<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a very small sample size to go off, but Stach has really impressed me so far. It\u2019s not a surprise that he\u2019s seen with potential to play in Germany\u2019s current team.<\/p>\n

He looked the business in pre-season, backed it up against Everton and Newcastle, while having a tough outing against Arsenal (but everyone did).<\/p>\n

Knowing how good he was in the Bundesliga, it\u2019s no shock he\u2019s been a standout for Leeds thus far, and that\u2019ll catch Nagelsmann\u2019s eye no doubt.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s every chance Stach\u2019s stock continues to rise while we\u2019re in the Premier League, given the spotlight he\u2019s constantly under.<\/p>\n
