Leeds United: Club source confirms that the double deal is "going in the right direction"

5:59pm, 5 July 2025Football

Leeds United are making progress in achieving two known goals. There are few rumors during the summer transfer window as frequent as Leeds United, but reliable sources confirm that two specific deals are “moving in the right direction.”

Leeds United are preparing for a return to the Premier League under Daniel Falke, with a clear plan – combining top-flight experience with physical fitness on the court.

The latter is not short of. Jaka Bjöll joined from Udinese, Sebastian Borna joined from Wolfsburg, and free agent Lucas Nmecha also joined Real Madrid.

The three men are tall, Nmecha is 6-foot-1, and Bijol and Bornauw are both close to 6-foot-3.

The current transfer window is already in chaos, with more than 20 non-goalkeepers and about 10 goalkeepers participating in the transfer. But two of the clubs have already confirmed the transfer and Leeds United appears to be finalizing a deal for Gabriel Goodmondson and Anton Stacher.

Football365 reported yesterday that although Swedish international Goodmondson began pre-season training with Lille, his transfer matters are still in progress. The agreement between the two clubs has not been finalized, but all signs are showing progress in negotiations.

26-year-old Goodmondson quietly became one of the most stable players in Ligue 1. He is good at defensive confrontation, can stay calm under pressure, is agile and accurate in timing, and is a reliable engine on the left. There is no doubt that the left back is less than 6 feet tall (about 1.83 meters), which is simply a tiny wizard compared to the 6-foot-4 inches tall (about 1.93 meters). The

scout report does not portray the most progressive passer, but he often dribbles into open spaces and has contributed goals in two of the past three seasons.

He has made more than 100 appearances in France and has played in European and domestic cups, and Leeds United believes his experience will translate well into Premier League competitiveness. In the midfield, 26-year-old Anton Stah was arranged in the team. He has both physical fitness, ball grabbing ability and calmness. The Hoffenheim player is known for his hardworking defensive midfielder and a sensitive sense of passing.

He rarely takes the ball forward in person, but he is good at disrupting the game and regains possession efficiently.

Stach made 35 appearances last season and represented two different Bundesliga teams in the European arena. Leeds United thinks he is a versatile player, who can both serve as the main midfielder and play B2B role based on Falke's position. He has also played for the German national team, which further proves his strength in the top league.

There is still some work to be done, but the club believes that both deals are making progress.

According to journalist Jon Donnohue, "things are moving in the right direction of the goal we reported earlier."
