Our first signing.

Free transfer from VFL Wolfsburg

26 year old German international and former Manchester City academy player signed on a 2 year deal.

A player known for his pace and strength he is capable of playing through the middle or out wide

Good at beating a defender with a trick or two.

Highly rated as a kid but been injury ravaged for years tbh.

Basically Bamford level injury prone unfortunately.

Not without talent though if you can keep him fit.

So, better than what we have at our disposal right now then?

Hope so, otherwise no point in signing him 😁😁😁.

I’m thinking a Joseph replacement personally.

About the same injury record and goal scoring stats as Bamford.

I'd expect he's our number three striker, with Piroe at two and our new main man still to be signed.

Slightly underwhelming for me but am willing to be proved wrong. How much are we paying for him?

Free transfer as Wolfsburg had let his contract expire.

Can't imagine he will be getting a huge wage from us either?

Squad signing with potential if he can overcome his injury issues?

That's a statement signing mate we may as well start preparing for the Championship now! 😆

I wish him all the best.

I would think he'll be competing with Piroe as a back-up to a new striker, James.

What is it with the love in from some for Joseph on here?
I fail to see 1 tree he's ripped up in all his time here, another flop from the previous :roll:
Anyway, is there any news on how we're binning off Harrison yet, in fact where is he atm, in his mumsies arms?
I've been getting some proper soothing nights sleep since the Firpo announcement re Betis.
Shame about Solomon.

Injury record a concern but he looks to be a decent squad addition- there will be a few of these types of signing this summer. Everyone wanted squad depth what did you expect we would do spend 300 million to achieve it?

As was the case with Solomon & Byram.

Is this a Bamford swap--i.e., same production and injury record but on what one would assume would be much lower wages?

Free transfer.

Counts as a homegrown player.

Comes to Leeds as a back-up striker.

We need squad players.

Big, physical, pacey type of forward.

German International.

Decent signing given it's for nothing, will add some depth and counts as homegrown which is important. And none of the so-called "itk" clickbait sites knew about it, so that is a positive.

I don't think no one saw this signing coming out of the 132 names mentioned on various Leeds sites.
