Lukas Nmecha Agrees To Join Leeds United

Leeds United are delighted to announce Lukas Nmecha has agreed to join the club on an initial two-year contract when his current deal expires at VfL Wolfsburg.

The 26-year-old forward will officially become a Leeds United player on July 1st and is the first confirmed arrival for Daniel Farke’s side of the summer transfer window, having spent the last four years playing in the Bundesliga.

Born in Hamburg, the forward began his early playing career in Manchester City’s academy and made his Premier League debut in 2018, before then gaining further experience on loan at Preston North End, Middlesbrough and Anderlecht.

Having also spent time on loan with Wolfsburg, he then made the move permanent and has since played 73 games, scoring 19 times in the league and cup. He has scored 43 goals in senior football matches in Germany, England, Belgium, in all competitions, including the UEFA Champions League.

Nmecha adds versatility to Farke’s forward line as the team prepares for a return to the Premier League, with his ability to play in the centre of the attack or also on the wing. Standing at over six-foot in height, he also offers a strong physical presence.

As well as impressing at club level, Nmecha is also a full Germany international. He has represented his country seven times at senior level, as well as scoring 12 goals in 20 matches for the Under-21s side.

Having fought off competition from other Premier League sides for his services, everyone at Leeds United looks forward to welcoming Lukas to Elland Road.
