Leeds United appear to have taken a big step forward in their pursuit of Anton Stach amid reports the midfielder has agreed personal terms on a move to Elland Road.

The YEP exclusively reported on interest in Stach almost three weeks ago, with Leeds identifying the ball-winning midfielder as a prime candidate to add the kind of physicality and experience Daniel Farke desires.

The 6ft 4ins German international is considered one of the best ball-winners in the Bundesliga and is expected to attract interest from several possible rivals.

Leeds missed out on £47 million pair Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki to Sunderland but now Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has provided an update on Stach.

In a post on X, Plettenberg claims that Leeds have agreed personal terms with Stach while continuing negotiations with his current club Hoffenheim.
