Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to react after it was announced that Robin Koch had been named in Germany’s EURO 2020 squad.

After Liam Cooper was also included in Scotland’s EURO 2020 squad, Leeds will have a handful of representatives on the global stage this summer.
Add in the likes of Kalvin Phillips, who should make Gareth Southgate’s squad, and the Whites have really gone up a gear.
Mateusz Klich and Ezgjan Alioski should also be representing Poland and North Macedonia respectively.
Gone are the days of average Championship players – Leeds now have a squad full of top class internationals.
In Koch’s case, this is a big chance for the £46,154-a-week man to win his first piece of silverware.
