Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch has told Leeds Live that Robin Koch has been the best player for his side so far this season.
Marsch has said that Koch has been incredible for Leeds in central defence this campaign.
The 26-year-old has made five appearances in the Premier League for the West Yorkshire club so far this season.

Marsch told Leeds Live about Koch: “Robin has emerged as an incredible player and maybe our best player in our first five games. I think he’s really inserted himself into the future in a really good way.”
Important player for Leeds
In our view, Robin Koch is a very important player for Leeds United and is now one of the first names on the tea sheet.
The Germany international centre-back has not always been at his best since his move from Freiburg in the summer of 2020 for £20 million (The Sun).
There have been injury problems and competition for places.
However, Koch is flourishing now and has become a real leader at the back for Leeds.
The 26-year-old, who can also operate as a defensive midfielder, is showing why Leeds paid so much money to sign him in the first place.
For Leeds to be successful this season, Koch will have to stay on top of his game throughout.
Koch has made 42 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
