Leeds United looking to seal massive deal for Hoffenheim forward

Leeds United reportedly are looking to seal a massive deal for Hoffenheim star Georginio Rutter in the January transfer window. 

The 20-year-old is an academy graduate of French side Rennes where he made five senior appearances before moving to Germany in 2021. 

The young forward has established himself as an important member of the Hoffenheim team. He has made 57 Bundesliga appearances for his side so far, with 11 goals and four assists to his name. 

His performances in Germany have reportedly impressed Leeds who want to bring him to the Yorkshire. 

According to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, the Whites are looking to seal a massive deal for Rutter in this transfer window. 

It is said that the youngster is keen on a move to Elland Road and a deal worth between €30m to €40m is being mooted.  

Leeds trying to boost their survival chances by bringing reinforcements 

Leeds United are aiming to secure survival in the English top-flight this season. 

The Whites have seen improvement since their 3-2 home defeat against Fulham in October when Jesse Marsch came on the brink of getting sacked. 

However, the Yorkshire outfit are still only two points above the drop zone, though they have played a game less than most of their relegation rivals.  

To boost their chances of survival, Leeds will be looking to bring new recruits this month. 

They have already made their first January signing in the form of Maximilian Wober who arrived from Red Bull Salzburg. 

And now they could also land Georginio Rutter who could be a smart acquisition for the Whites. 

Rutter is only 20-years-old, so he has a lot of room for improvement.  He will also have plenty of resale value if he turns out to be successful.
