January’s transfer business at Leeds United has started early in 2023 with Victor Orta quick off the mark to secure Austrian defender Max Wober. The left-footer becomes the fourth arrival from Jesse Marsch’s former Red Bull employers in the last seven months.
Wober is a former teammate of Brenden Aaronson’s and Rasmus Kristensen’s at Red Bull Salzburg, while Tyler Adams arrived from RB Leipzig last summer too. The Austrian international has signed a contract to June 2027 after the clubs reportedly agreed to a deal starting at £10m with £4m in add-ons.
While the 24-year-old’s natural position is considered to be centre-back, he has frequently played at left-back. The Whites came into this window with a clear focus on adding competition for Pascal Struijk and Junior Firpo in that department.
