Leeds United strengthens with a stitch: 17.4 million for the defensive star!

Leeds, Großbritannien - Leeds United has strengthened and with 26-year-old Anton Stach signed a defensive midfielder from Hoffenheim. The player signed a four -year contract and is celebrated as the sixth new commitment of the association during this summer transfer period. The transfer fee for Stach is initially £ 17.4 million, plus possible bonus payments, such as Sky Sports reported.

Stach is considered an important asset for the team. The big defensive (1.93 m) not only brings physical presence, but also a playful strength that distinguishes it. His playing style is described as aggressively, although he is good in duels and can anticipate the opponent's game. Last season Stach played 30 times in the Bundesliga for Hoffenheim, scored a goal and delivered two templates. He was also able to score a goal in the Europa League against Tottenham Hotspur.

career and development

Anton Stach was born on November 15, 1998 in Buchholz, Germany. His football journey began at Buchholzer FC, via Werder Bremen, his path continued to combine like Nordwest, Osnabrück and SSV Jedeloh. It is particularly worth mentioning that he won the championship title in the Regionalliga Nord in 2018/19 with the reserve team of Wolfsburg. Stach then moved to Greuther Fürth and celebrated the win of the UEFA European Championship with the German U21 national team.

he gave his Bundesliga debut in the 2021/22 season at FSV Mainz 05, where he quickly made a name for himself before moving to Hoffenheim. In his last season there he was also able to draw attention to himself internationally and gained valuable experience in the Europa League.

future at Leeds

After his transfer, Stach expressed himself very positively about the change and the new challenges. His debut for Leeds could take place in a friendly against Villarreal on August 2, 2025. The Premier League season will open for Leeds with a home game against Everton on August 18. Coach Daniel Farke puts great hopes in Stach, especially now that Patrick Bamford is no longer part of his plans. An open conversation about the future of the player has already taken place.

Overall, the newcomer stood the stability on the defensive of Leeds, while the association is still actively on the transfer market. This obligation is part of a number of transfers, including that of Sebastiaan Bornauw, Lukas Nmecha and Sean Longstaff.

For Leeds United, there are also some departures in addition to the new additions. Players like Josuha Guilavogui and Junior Firpo were released, while Max Wober switched to Werder Bremen on loan. So trainer Farke has an exciting but challenging task.

with Stach and the future team, Leeds seems well positioned to play a strong role in the Premier League in the coming season, while 80 percent of the games are broadcast live to Sky Sports
