Report: Leeds United now think 24-year-old could be an absolute bargain, they’re preparing a bid

Leeds United’s restarted Premier League campaign didn’t get off to the best start last night against Manchester City.

They were the latest team to face the full wrath of Erling Haaland as they fell to a 3-1 defeat.

Jesse Marsch will be hoping to make a couple of signings that can drag his side away from a relegation battle.

After surviving on the final day last season, he won’t want a repeat of that dramatic finale against Brentford.

Leeds think Wober could end up being a serious bargain if they do manage to sign him.

They expect, ‘the general price of centre-backs is about to rise substantially’ very soon.

His value is only likely to rise in the future, especially if he establishes himself as a solid, Premier League level centre-back.
