Leeds United fans will be eagerly awaiting seeing their new striker Lukas Nmecha in action next season.
The transfer window is finally underway for Leeds with the free signing of Nmecha after he ended his time with Wolfsburg.
Nmecha, 26, appears to be a versatile forward who plays excellently when the ball stays on the floor with brilliant passing and close-ball control.
What the German struggled with is clear as Nmecha doesn’t like aerial duels, which is a big factor from playing in England.
Wolfsburg wanted to keep Nmecha, but the striker’s ambition speaks volumes, as now, the day he signed has some behind-the-scenes footage.

What was so impressive with this transfer was how well it was covered, in what was a 49ers masterclass.
Some fans only found out about the signing when the club announced the deal, which will see the striker endure a two-year stay at Elland Road for the time being.
Of course, this could heighten, and with Pep Guardiola a big fan of Nmecha, it has every chance to reach that stage.
The jury will stay out on the forward until he’s seen in action, but Daniel Farke clearly trusts the 26-year-old to shine.
With the undercover move taking place, Nmecha’s agency, sports360, have released footage of the striker making his way to Yorkshire in what is an intriguing watch for the Whites faithful.
How Leeds fans feel about Nmecha’s shock transfer
The striker is opening to begin his new chapter with a bang, but it might not be plain sailing for what the 49ers still have in mind.
It’s planned that another striker will arrive at Leeds this summer, already providing a threat to Nmecha having a successful tenure.
But the striker has shown enough quality over his career that give him every chance to succeed at Elland Road.
However, an alarming factor has been pointed out by the Whites faithful as Leeds fans see Nmecha’s signing as a ‘risk’ due to his horrid luck with injuries.
Indeed, the fans have every right to be worried, as Nmecha has missed 77 games in his career due to injury, all happening from 19/20 onwards.
The hope is that his fortunes change, but it’s certainly something to keep in mind.
