Leeds United transfer target Rasmus Kristensen is the 'best defender in Austrian Bundesliga'

Austrian football pundit Lee Wingate believes Rasmus Kristensen would be an excellent signing for Leeds United after the Whites were linked with a move for the Red Bull Salzburg right-back.

The 24-year-old has been one of Salzburg's standout performers this season at both ends of the pitch. Operating at right-back, the Danish international scored seven goals in the Austrian Bundesliga this term. He also featured in the Champions League eight times for Salzburg too, helping them to reach the last 16 against Bayern Munich.

Should Leeds end up signing him, Kristensen will link up with former team mate Brenden Aaronson, who signed for the Whites on a five-year-deal from Salzburg last week. Like Aaronson, the Danish defender also played under Jesse Marsch during the latter's time with Salzburg before he moved on to join RB Leipzig.
