Leeds United have made their first foray into the winter transfer window with the signing of Austria defender Max Wober from Red Bull Salzburg on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
The 24-year-old played under Jesse Marsch at Salzburg where he made 125 appearances.
The versatile Wober, who can play at both centre-back and left-back, joins the Elland Road club for an undisclosed fee.
Wober was the Austrian Bundesliga’s most expensive signing in August 2019 when he completed a 10.5m euros move from Ajax to Salzburg. In his three-and-a-half years at the Red Bull Arena, Wober won the Austrian League and Cup double three times in a row.
He could make his debut in Sunday’s FA Cup round three tie at Cardiff City.
