Leeds United goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald is being lined up for a quick return to Germany.

German newspaper BILD report Wiedwald is wanted by German side Eintracht Frankfurt.

28-year-old Wiedwald is under contract at Leeds until 2020.

Yet it is reported that his contract could be cut short.

BILD’s report states: “In the next few days are still the last details such as the contract resolution in Leeds be clarified, then the way back to Frankfurt was finally free.”

At Eintracht Frankfurt BILD claim he would be a back-up for first choice stopper Frederick Ronnow.

It would mean a return to the club he played for between 2013 and 2015.
