‘Important player’: Leeds urged to avoid Max Wober transfer blunder


Leeds United have been warned to keep hold of defender Max Wober in the upcoming January transfer window.

Wober joined Leeds from Austrian giants RB Salzburg in January 2023 but left the club on loan from Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany following relegation from the Premier League.

Approach made: Leeds are ready to complete a deal they have been monitoring all season!

After 27 appearances for Germany and three at Euro 2024 with Austria, Wober returned to Elland Road this summer.

Wober has struggled for consistent game time since arriving in Yorkshire, not helped by knee surgery.

However, the 30-time Austria international has featured in three of Leeds’ last four Championship games, even starting and scored in the 2-0 win against Derby County on Saturday.

Recent Rumors have suggested Wober could be used in a swap deal between Leeds and Red Bull counterparts Salzburg in the winter.

However, his recent playing time suggests he still has a big role to play alongside Daniel Farke.

That’s the view of former Whites midfielder David Norris, who believes his former club should stick with the defender, who can play at centre-back and left-back.

“It’s a real boost to have him back. They’re going to have to add to the squad in January, so getting rid of him wouldn’t necessarily be the best idea,” Norris said. ITV Leeds News.

“Perhaps, in the long term, they could look for a move for him and get him a fee back, but he is becoming an important player.”

Farke may not be willing to let anyone leave in January with Leeds sitting second in the Championship table with 38 points from 19 games, one adrift of Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United.

Next up for the Whites is a home clash with Middlesbrough.
