Leeds have signed Pierre-Michel Lasogga on loan.
Leeds United have clinched a move to sign Pierre-Michel Lasogga on loan for the season.
Hamburg announced the deal last night via their Twitter feed.
Lasogga has been capped four times by Germany but has fallen out of the international reckoning after a poor last two seasons.
He was considered expendable by Hamburg and has a chance to relaunch his career at Leeds.
His physical style could be a good fit for the Championship and Leeds have an opening for him after selling Chris Wood to Burnley.
His acquisition has been praised by former Leeds players Andy Couzens and Tony Dorigo, with the latter chastising the former for spelling Lasogga’s name incorrectly.
Lasogga will be hoping to get back on track at Leeds and a couple of positive performances early on will silence those who are concerned he is not good enough.
Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen played in Germany during his career and could be an ideal mentor for Lasogga.
As a loan move the Whites cannot really lose, and they will know by January whether he is proving to be an asset or whether they need to buy another striker to aid their promotion push.
