Klich reportedly undergoing medical at Leeds United

Well, it appears that there is transfer news at last.

The Yorkshire Evening Post is reporting that rumored Leeds United target Mateusz Klich is currently undergoing a medical at Elland Road ahead of a switch from FC Twente. The 27 year old midfielder, who had been rumored to be headed to Leeds for a few weeks, appears to be trading the Eredivisie for the Championship.

The fee is understood to be in the range of £1.5 million, which sounds like a bargain considering all of the crazy amounts of money being thrown about for Premier League players these days.

We profiled the player when his name was first connected with a switch to Leeds United, and an attacking midfielder is a great idea, since Pablo Hernandez isn’t getting any younger and the club could use another creative player in the middle of the pitch. He’s got a decent goal scoring record at FC Twente, but a number of his goals last year seemed to come from the spot, so that total might be a tad misleading.

Klich set off a frenzy earlier in the day, as it appeared he posted himself at the airport on Snapchat earlier in the day, with Leeds fans taking to Twitter in a vain attempt to confirm the rumors, but it now appears that the rumors were true.

So will this be a good signing for Leeds? Can Klich take some of the goal-scoring burden off of Chris Wood and chip in a few goals from the midfield? And with his success from the spot, along with Ronaldo Vieira’s penalty shoot-out success at the Toulon Tournament, will this mean that Leeds will be well placed to be able to break Sheffield Wednesday’s hearts at Wembley in a penalty shoot-out in the playoffs? (LOL) Time will tell, but new faces are always an encouraging sign.
