‘I’m an aggressive player’: Leeds sign Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach

Anton Stach has become promoted Leeds’ sixth summer signing after joining from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim for an undisclosed fee.

The 6ft 4in two-cap Germany midfielder has signed a four-year deal at Elland Road, subject to international clearance and a work permit.

The 26-year-old, who also had a spell in the German top flight with Mainz, has more than 250 career appearances to his name and can play in defence as well as midfield.

Stach told the Leeds website: “First of all, I am feeling really good. I am excited to join such a good team, such a good Premier League team, and I am looking forward to the next season. My style of play, I would say I am an aggressive player. I am good in duels. I am good at anticipating passes from the opponents and it would be good for the Premier League. Now we will see, I will try my best.

“The biggest target is to stay in the league and personally just develop, adapt to the league, to the speed of course and then get many good experiences hopefully. I am really excited to play at home with the fans because I think the fans are really good here and as well away. I want to feel the atmosphere because I heard and I saw so many videos of the fans, the promotion [parade] last year over 150,000 people in the city.”
