‘Anton Stach to push for exit’ as Leeds United prepare new transfers
Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach may have to do his part as Leeds United look for reinforcements this transfer window.
The Whites are hoping to sign the Germany international alongside Newcastle United star Sean Longstaff in the coming weeks.
Stach is on the radar at Elland Road, with the West Yorkshire outfit already making contact for the 26-year-old.
While the Peacocks are keen on the defensive midfielder, he could potentially have to push for an exit to LS11 this summer.
Leeds United expect drawn-out affair for Stach transfer as other targets deemed likely
Leeds expect a “long draw-out affair” to sign Stach from Hoffenheim in the ongoing transfer window, according to Isaac Johnson.
The Leeds Live journalist revealed on X (8 July) that several clubs are interested in the German national who the Whites want to sign at Elland Road.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Minutes played |
| Bundesliga | 30 | 1 | 2 | 2590 |
It’s been claimed that while the West Yorkshire outfit like the midfielder and a deal isn’t impossible, other targets are deemed likely.
The possibility of having to wait for the 26-year-old’s arrival is not ideal for the Peacocks, and he may need to force a way out of the Bundesliga outfit to make a move to LS11.
Farke to be delighted with Elland Road transfer activity
Leeds have strengthened their defence with Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw and the seemingly imminent arrival of Gabriel Gudmundsson.
The Whites wanted Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki to bolster their midfield, but Sunderland won the race for their signature.
Despite missing out on some key transfer targets, Farke will be delighted to potentially have a player of Longstaff’s experience and quality at his disposal for next season.
With other players being targeted to reinforce the engine room, Leeds should also focus on bringing new attackers to Elland Road.
Former VfL Wolfsburg ace Lukas Nmecha was the Whites’ first summer signing, but they arguably need more quality up front.
Joel Piroe can’t be expected to shoulder the burden of scoring goals, and it remains to be seen whether Dan James and Willy Gnonto can shine in the Premier League.
Only time will tell where Stach will go, but the West Yorkshire outfit must focus on strengthening other areas of the pitch now.
