Brighton midfielder Enock Mwepu welcomed Leeds United’s new signing, Rasmus Kristensen, to the Premier League.

On Tuesday evening, Kristensen took to Instagram to express that he is ‘buzzing’ to join a club like Leeds, after completing a £10 million transfer from RB Salzburg last week, as reported by Sky Sports.

When Kristensen expressed his delight at his transfer yesterday, Mwepu posted in the comments section: ‘Machine. Welcome to the Prem’.

Leeds United fans must be pinching themselves this summer because their club is finally being efficient in the transfer market.

Brenden Aaronson has already arrived, also from RB Salzburg, as coach Jesse Marsch aims to bulk up and fine-tune a thin squad that suffered many injuries last season and battled relegation.

Whilst new faces are coming into the fold and it seems as though Bayern Munich midfielder, Marc Roca, will sign a four-year deal at Elland Road.

CAN LEEDS KEEP HOLD OF THEIR MAIN MEN?

The main worry from the Leeds supporters will be their key men, the dazzling South American winger, Raphinha and their boyhood fan, Kalvin Phillips.

Both are being tipped to leave Leeds this summer, with Raphinha attracting interest from across the Premier League and Barcelona.

Whilst Manchester City are keen to add Phillips’ hard-hitting talents to their midfield this summer – Phillips could replace Fernandinho, who is set to depart the Etihad when his contract expires this month.

Either way, Leeds’ summer might be defined by, not who they bring in, but who they can keep because, if they lose both of their star men, then it will hit the club hard.
