Leeds United are on the verge of agreeing a deal with Freiburg for defender Robin Koch, reports Phil Hay.
The Athletic understands the two clubs are close to shaking hands on a fee in the region of £13m, setting Koch up to become Leeds’ second first-team signing of the summer. The Elland Road club are poised to confirm the record-breaking £27m arrival of Valencia striker Rodrigo, who accepted a four-year contract earlier this week.
Koch was targeted after Leeds failed with three offers for Brighton’s Ben White, the 22-year-old who starred on loan in the Championship title-winning campaign, and discussions with Freiburg have progressed positively in the past 48 hours. Leeds are hopeful of bringing Koch to England for a medical over the weekend if terms with Freiburg can be finalised.
The 24-year-old Germany international has been on the radar of Leeds’ scouting team for some time and was seen as a strong alternative if Brighton refused to sell White.
