Arsenal and Leeds United News: Leeds United have completed the signing of Austrian defender Max Wöber from Red Bull Salzburg at a bargain fee that could reach up to €20 million including add-ons. Max Wöber started his career at Rapid Vienna before he was scouted by Ajax Amsterdam in 2017. From there, he moved on to Sevilla in 2019 on a loan deal (initially).
He made his big move to Red Bull Salzburg for a fee of €9.6 million, which back then was a record in the Austrian league. Max Wöber played for Salzburg for three years, winning the league and cup double for three consecutive years. The 24-year-old will now look to make a name for himself in the Premier League.

Wöber will now reunite with his former teammates Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen and his former head coach, Jesse Marsch. He can make his debut in Sunday’s FA Cup third-round tie at Cardiff.
Leeds United are currently placed 14th on the points table with 16 points from 16 matches. Although they are clear of the relegation battle and do not need to worry about that as of now, Wöber’s signing will definitely help them improve their defensive performance, which will ultimately improve their position on the points table.
