Summer exit was likely

In our opinion, it was always likely that Robin Koch would leave Leeds United in the summer transfer window.

After all, Leeds will play in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League.

And Koch was unlikely to play in the second tier of English football.

After all, the 26-year-old who can also operate as a defensive midfielder, is a Germany international and has done well for Leeds in the Premier League.

Eintracht Frankfurt are a big club in Germany who could feature in the UEFA Europa Conference League next season and will also aim to challenge for the UEFA Europa League places in the Bundesliga table.
