Leeds United, despite their disappointing loss in the Championship play-off final, are looking to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. After relegation from the Premier League, several first-team players were loaned out, including Brenden Aaronson and Max Wober.
However, with Aaronson set to return to the squad, Leeds should also prioritize bringing back Wober, a impressive central defender.
Wober’s loan spell at Leeds was impressive, and his defensive statistics in the Bundesliga suggest he is “too good” for the Championship.
His tackling quality, ability to read the game, and clearance skills make him an asset to the team. With Borussia Monchengladbach unwilling to meet Leeds’ valuation, Wober’s future is uncertain. However, Daniel Farke should capitalize on this opportunity to persuade Wober to return to Elland Road.
Wober’s potential to offer more than current left-sided defender Pascal Struijk is evident. His ability to cut out opposition attacks and prevent goalkeeper Illan Meslier from being worked as much makes him a valuable addition to the team. With Wober’s form in Germany’s top-flight, he could be an excellent performer in the second tier.
Leeds United should take advantage of Wober’s uncertain future and bring him back to Elland Road. His return, combined with Aaronson’s, could be a significant boost to the team’s promotion hopes.
Farke must act quickly to revive Wober’s Leeds career and make him a key player in the squad for the upcoming season.
