Leeds United are eager to secure a midfielder this summer and have set their sights on Borussia Monchengladbach’s Julian Weigl.
In order to assess his suitability for the Premier League, injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar has evaluated Weigl’s history of off-field setbacks.
Despite guiding Leeds to a remarkable 100-point finish in the Championship, manager Daniel Farke is looking to bolster his squad for the upcoming 2025/26 season.
Weigl is expected to pass his pre-transfer medical without any issues, as Dr Brar has indicated that his minor injuries should not pose a problem.
Following Leeds’ approach for Weigl, the player has shown interest in making a move to the Premier League. Farke’s connections in Germany could play a key role in bringing the 29-year-old to Elland Road.
Dr Brar, speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, has highlighted the positives of signing Weigl, citing his lack of recurring injuries and successful league appearances this season.
Leeds United should now prioritize signing Weigl, as he would bring experience, composure, and a needed presence in their midfield.
With his ability to dictate tempo, break up play, and distribute from deep, Weigl would be a valuable addition to Farke’s possession-based system.
Furthermore, his leadership skills, acquired at Borussia Dortmund and Benfica, would benefit Leeds’ young squad.
As contract negotiations with Gladbach stall, Leeds have an opportunity to secure Weigl at a reasonable price, strengthening their squad with depth and quality.
