The Bundesliga has long been a very strong source of talent that Premier League clubs have looked to exploit. According to recent reports, Florian Grillitsch could be the next player to make the move between the two leagues with Leeds United the latest team to be linked with his signature.
Although, as always, it won’t be an easy deal for the Whites to complete as he is understood to be on the radar of several other clubs around Europe. The Austria international will be out of contract in the summer if he opts against extending his deal at Hoffenheim which has piqued the interest of plenty of European scouts.
The Daily Mail report that suggested Leeds were pursuing Grillitsch did claim that his potential arrival would come as part of a contingency plan to replace Kalvin Phillips. However, with the lack of senior midfield options available to Jesse Marsch at the moment, that wouldn’t necessarily be the case as he could come in as a partner for Phillips.
