Former Leeds United forward Noel Whelan says he wants Robin Koch to play in defence ahead of the upcoming season, claiming that the game is 'too quick' for him in midfield.
Koch missed the first half of last season through injury, but when he returned, he often played as a holding midfielder in Kalvin Phillips' absence. Towards the end of the season, Koch filled in at right-back for Luke Ayling.
However, the majority of his playing time was spent in midfield. The 26-year-old only played a handful of league games in his preferred centre-back position, and Whelan doesn't want to see the German tried in midfield again.
