Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink backs Julian Brandt as Leeds seek experience | OneFootball

Leeds United are interested in signing 30-year-old Germany international Julian Brandt, a free agent after his Borussia Dortmund deal expired this summer. The club are believed to be in talks with his representatives, with competition expected from sides playing European football. This comes ahead of United’s second season back in the Premier League.

“Well, it brings top-level experience. It brings real experience, and they can always use that.” He told 10bet.

“I think they have done exceptionally well this year, finishing the season really, really well. Now it’s all about building on that.”

“How can they ensure they stay away from the bottom five all year long? Because at the beginning of last season, they were flirting with that relegation zone until they went to Man City and changed a few things.”

“So it’s going to be very important that they strengthen themselves in different areas and bring in plenty of know-how. From that perspective, Brandt is a very, very good option.”
