Lukas Nmecha: I wish we could get going now | OneFootball

Lukas Nmecha has agreed to join Leeds United from July 1st, becoming the first new arrival for Daniel Farke’s side this summer.

The German international can operate in a number of positions across the forward area and brings top-level experience to the Whites, as they prepare for a Premier League return.

After agreeing to join the club, Nmecha spoke exclusively to LUTV about why he decided Elland Road was the best place for his next move.

“It's just a great challenge and I'm really excited to get to know the team,” Nmecha explained.

“I've spoken with the manager many times and I'm excited to play that style of football that they played in the Championship, even in the Premier League.

“I saw that there was dominance last season in terms of possession and the goals. I'm an attacking player, so obviously that's exciting for me.

“Of course, in the Premier League, there's some big boys in there where you can't play like that all the time, but I think the idea of the manager is to play good football, possession football, and that's what I'm used to and what I love doing.

“I wish we could get going now, but we still have a few weeks of pre-pre-season, getting the runs in and all that! But, I just can't wait to start training now.”
