🎧 Brandt could be 'marquee signing'
EP 213: Cards on the table
- Published
Leeds United have been linked with a move for Julian Brandt, who is available on a free transfer after leaving Borussia Dortmund this summer.
On the BBC Radio Leeds Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast, host Jonny Buchan said: "That could be one of those signings that actually becomes a bit of a key marquee signing, couldn't it? You know with that experience, with that nous that he's got I mean I think that could be excellent."
Daniel Farke's side are also linked with a free transfer for Welsh international Harry Wilson following his departure from Fulham.
Buchan added: "I think Wilson will have suitors further up the chain whereas I think with someone like a Brandt... I get he's maybe a little bit older isn't he, 30, than what they've necessarily gone for last summer but are they just looking, as we've said, to add that sprinkling of quality and experience where the age isn't necessarily the key factor and it's more about getting in that nous?
"I'm not going to call him [Pablo] Hernandez-esque, but it's the same mentality, isn't it? It's the same mentality, if not the exact type of player. And it's not a fair comparison now that, you'd never do that but just in terms of what sort of a signing that could be."
