Brandt could help Leeds improve
They are looking to build a team capable of competing in the Premier League regularly, and the German international midfielder will certainly help them improve in the final third. He can operate as an attacking midfielder as well as on the flanks. His versatility will be an added bonus for the English club.
The report from Sky Sports further claims that his father and agent visited Thorp Arch earlier this month, and it remains to be seen whether all parties can come to an agreement.
Brandt produced 15 goal contributions last season. He is an experienced player with the technical attributes to adapt to English football and make an immediate impact at Elland Road.
