Farke reveals new boy Stach's big motivation behind his United move

Stach arrived at the club's training base in Germany on Sunday night and underwent a medical on Monday. The move was announced by Leeds on Tuesday morning ahead of their 4-1 win over SC Verl, but Stach played no part having not yet received international clearance from FIFA.

What Leeds have bought, according to Farke, is a "top class" addition who brings physicality and versatility.

"I spoke about what we have lost in midfield, especially Joe Rothwell but also Josuha Guilavogui and yes, we brought Sean Longstaff in and also wanted one more addition," said the manager. "And we all got the feeling Anton Stach is a top class guy, he can play various positions across the midfield, has also played a lot as a center back, if needed.
