Leeds United have signed Germany midfielder Anton Stach from Hoffenheim in a deal worth £17m.
The 26-year-old, who has two international caps, has joined on a four-year contract.
Stach becomes the sixth summer signing for Leeds, who were promoted to the Premier League after winning the Championship last season.
He follows Sebastiaan Bornauw, Jaka Bijol, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Lukas Nmecha and Sean Longstaff in joining manager Daniel Farke’s squad for the 2025-26 campaign.
“I am excited to join such a good team, such a good Premier League team, and I am looking forward to the next season,” said Stach, who is 6ft 4in.
“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.”
