Robin Koch<\/a> has officially completed a move to Leeds United<\/a> for an undisclosed fee. The former SC Freiburg defender has signed a four-year deal to become the second man in a matter of days to walk through the doors of Elland Road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With both Rodrigo<\/a> and Koch now signed, Marcelo Bielsa will look towards Leeds’ opening game against champions Liverpool as he looks to complete a shock result.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben White’s Replacement<\/span><\/h3>\n

After playing a pivotal part in Leeds United’s promotion to the Premier League, Ben White<\/a> was welcomed back with open arms in Brighton<\/a>, much to the disappointment of Bielsa’s side, who would have been hoping to complete a permanent deal. However, with a deal for White extremely unlikely, the chance for Robin Koch arose, one the player has jumped towards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 24-year-old now has the chance to take the Premier League<\/a> by storm via the ever-impressive Bielsa ball. The German should help to solidify the Leeds defence while the likes of Patrick Bamford<\/a>, and the newly signed Rodrigo, link up to tear some teams apart in the top flight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeds Building a Squad Set for Premier League comforts\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Marcelo Bielsa’s aim going into the Premier League will not just be to survive but to push into the top half. He will want to replicate what Wolves<\/a> have done since their return by booking themselves a surprise European tour. With the squad Leeds have behind them, too, a mid-table place should be the least secured at Elland Road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The two signings have certainly placed down a statement of intent of where Leeds will be hoping to be by the end of the season. The signing of a top European striker in Rodrigo is particularly impressive, with his ability proven on the biggest stages of world football.<\/span><\/p>\n
