Leeds United supporters are having to pinch themselves after two players have been signed by the club before the summer transfer window has even opened. Rasmus Kristensen is the second player to come through the door at Elland Road after the signing of Brenden Aaronson was announced just under a fortnight ago.
The Denmark right-back’s arrival was announced on Wednesday afternoon for an undisclosed fee on a five-year deal. That will see him move into the latter stages of his career in West Yorkshire as he will be 25 years old by the time the 2022/23 Premier League campaign begins.
The signings of the two international players so soon after the end of the season show the desire by those in charge at Leeds to give Marsch as much time as possible with a full squad. He will be relishing the chance to spend a full pre-season with his players when they return to Thorp Arch with the objective of moving up the Premier League table at the forefront of their minds.
