Agent posts image at Elland Road ahead of Isaac Schmidt transfer at Leeds United
Steven Lang has posted an image from Elland Road as his client, Isaac Schmidt prepares to sign for Leeds United before the deadline.
Posted on his official Instagram account story, the agent shared a picture of the West Stand entrance of the stadium in recent hours.
St. Gallen full-back Schmidt, 24, is expected to be the final new face through the door of the summer window [Graham Smyth, 30 August], which will take Daniel Farke’s squad total to 23.
Leeds United on course to sign Isaac Schmidt
The digging for the post by agent Lang does extinguish the worries creeping around the Leeds fanbase.
It very much looks to be “deal on” for Schmidt, who will challenge fellow new recruit Jayden Bogle and Junior Firpo, with his ability to play on both sides.
Leeds will be over the moon to also secure a deal for Japan international midfielder Ao Tanaka, who will bring a lot to the side in the Championship after moving from Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Whilst there does not appear to be any further activity beyond Schmidt, the Leeds squad now looks a lot healthier in numbers than it did last week when Georginio Rutter departed for Brighton.
Once again, it may just look like Leeds can get on course for their automatic promotion bid – keeping hold of the rest of who they already have was just as integral.
In other Leeds news, Tanaka receives a message from international teammate Kaoru Mitoma.
