Leeds<\/a> have spent much of the summer looking for players capable of helping them establish themselves in the Premier League, and Julian Brandt would undoubtedly be a brilliant bet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke’s side have already strengthened key areas of the squad, but a new injection of creativity remains a priority for the Whites.<\/p>\n

Bringing in a player with Brandt’s experience and quality would immediately raise the level of the squad and provide valuable leadership in a dressing room still adapting to the demands of England’s top flight.<\/p>\n

Brandt may now be 30, but he remains one of Germany’s most accomplished attacking midfielders.<\/p>\n

After joining Borussia Dortmund from Bayer Leverkusen in 2019, he spent seven seasons at Signal Iduna Park, making more than 300 appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n

During that spell, he contributed well over 120 goals and assists combined, helped Dortmund win the DFB-Pokal and played a key role in the club’s run to the Champions League final.<\/p>\n

His ability to operate as a number 10, wide playmaker or advanced midfielder made him one of the Bundesliga’s most versatile attacking players.<\/p>\n

Even in his final season with Dortmund, Brandt continued to show his quality.<\/p>\n

He finished 25\/26 with seven goals and four assists despite sharing minutes in a changing side. While he is no longer at the peak of his career, his vision, passing range and intelligence on the ball remain among his biggest strengths.<\/p>\n

That is why Leeds have remained interested throughout the summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n Julian Brandt makes Leeds or Ajax preference clear with offer made<\/strong>

According to Sky Sports journalist Zinny Boswell, Brandt currently has contract offers from both Leeds and Ajax following the expiry of his Dortmund deal.<\/p>\n

Boswell reports the former Germany international is understood to favour a move to Elland Road because he is fascinated by the opportunity to play in the Premier League for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n

However, the journalist adds that Brandt would also be interested in moving to Serie A should a concrete proposal arrive in the near future.<\/p>\n

Signing a player with Brandt’s pedigree without paying a transfer fee would be a shrewd piece of business. Few lower mid-table Premier League clubs have the opportunity to recruit someone with more than 300 appearances for Borussia Dortmund and almost 50 Germany caps.<\/p>\n

However, there are still risks.<\/p>\n
