Leeds United have been warned to keep hold of defender Max Vomber in the upcoming January transfer window.
Wober joined Linz from Austrian giants RB Salzburg in January 2023 but left the club on loan for Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany following their relegation from the Premier League.
Approach made: Leeds ready to complete deal they’ve been eyeing all season!
After 27 caps for Germany and three appearances at Euro 2024 for Austria, Wober returned to Elland Road this summer.
Wober has struggled for consistent game time since arriving back in Yorkshire, with his cause not helped by knee surgery.
However, the 30-time Austria international has featured in three of Leeds’ last four Championship games, even starting and scoring in a 2-0 win over Derby County on Saturday.
Leeds urged to keep Max Wober ‘important’
Recent rumors suggested that Wober could be used in a swap deal between Leeds and Red Bull Salzburg in the winter.
However, his recent game time suggests he still has an important role to play under Daniel Farke.
That’s the opinion of former Whites midfielder David Norris, who believes his old club should keep hold of the defender – who can play at centre-back and left-back.
“It’s a real boost to have him back. They’re going to have to strengthen the squad in January, so getting rid of him wouldn’t necessarily be the best idea,” Norris said. MOT Leeds News.
“Maybe in the long term, they might look for a move for him and recoup his fee, but he’s becoming an important player.”
Farke may well be unwilling to let anyone go in January with Leeds sitting second in the Championship table with 38 points from 19 games – one clear of Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United.
Next up for the Whites is the home match against Middlesbrough.
