New boy Nmecha's learning fast about the Leeds mentality

August 02, 2025

Lukas Nmecha's encounter with a Leeds United fan at this summer's British Grand Prix gave him an insight into the city's mentality but inside the camp it has to be different.

- by Graham Smyth

The striker made the move from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg this summer, becoming the first new signing through the door.

Nmecha was a free transfer and has since been joined by six fellow new boys. Before the end of the window it is likely there will be up to four more, all of whom will need to quickly get to grips with what it means to live and play football in a one-club city.

It did not take long for Leeds to make a strong first impression on Nmecha. "More than anything, just the size of it," he told the YEP.
