Leeds United target Daichi Kamada to leave Eintracht Frankfurt on free transfer

Leeds United target Daichi Kamada will leave Eintracht Frankfurt at the end of the season after deciding not to renew his contract.

Kamada was linked with Leeds and Tottenham Hotspur last summer, and reports last year suggested the Whites were 'tempted' to revisit their interest in January.

A move failed to materialise during the winter transfer window, but Kamada will now be available on a free transfer when his contract expires on June 30.

In a statement released on their official Twitter account, Eintracht Frankfurt said: "Daichi Kamada to leave the Eagles.

"The 26-year-old, who has been at Eintracht for six years, will leave the club at the end of the season after deciding not to renew his contract."

The attacking midfielder joined Eintracht from Sagan Tosu in 2017 but struggled for minutes during his debut season in Germany.

He netted 16 goals in 36 games during a loan spell at Belgian side Sint-Truiden and became a crucial figure for the Eagles upon his return.

Kamada has registered 37 goals and 31 assists in 170 games for Eintracht, and scored five goals as they lifted the Europa League last season.

He has netted a career-high 13 goals across all competitions during the current campaign, including three in the UEFA Champions League.
