Rasmus Kristensen permanent Leeds United exit now surely a formality amid ‘high quality’ admission
Rasmus Kristensen is not an altogether popular figure among Leeds Unite fans but a permanent exit is surely on the cards after praise from Eintracht Frankfurt’s sporting director.
It was clear throughout the summer that the Denmark international did not see his future at Elland Road with a move away always likely.
It was frustrating to the Whites that another loan deal – having spent last term in Serie A with Roma – was the best available, although they may be excited after the latest update from the Bundesliga side.
Eintracht Frankfurt share update on Leeds United loanee Rasmus Kristensen
The 27-year-old has clearly impressed in his opening three Bundesliga appearances since completing a temporary switch.
This has been made clear after Frankfurt’s sporting director Timmo Hardung praised the Dane alongside fellow new signing Arthur Theate
He told Fussball News (17 September): “The whole team has to work. But with Kristensen and Theate we have two players who can play as central defenders or full-backs at a high quality level.”
This is high praise for the Leeds loanee given how short a period he has been with the Bundesliga side and will likely be music to the ears of Whites supporters.
As a result, the Whites could be in for a payday in January or, more likely, the next summer transfer window if The Eagles look to make the deal permanent.
With the hierarchy of the club making this sort of comment so early in his career, it would point towards this being possible.
This would provide more of a transfer kitty to Daniel Farke if he is afforded the chance to be manager for upcoming transfer windows.
