According to a report by German outlet Kicker, Antony Stach is the subject of interest from Leeds United. The Whites are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a top-notch holding midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 26-year-old TSG Hoffenheim midfielder has emerged as a target for the newly promoted Premier League club.
Anton Stach has established himself as one of the most reliable midfielders in the Bundesliga since joining TSG Hoffenheim from FSV Mainz 05 in September 2023. A native of Buchholz in the Nordheide, he spent his formative years in Germany, passing through the academies at Buchholzer FC, Werder Bremen, and JFV Nordwest before graduating from the youth division at VfL Osnabrück.
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old midfielder has come leaps and bounds in the last two years, having been a pivotal figure for TSG Hoffenheim. Stach has turned out 71 times thus far for the Bundesliga club while chipping in with four goals and six assists.
Stach’s exploits for TSG Hoffenheim have helped him break into his national squad, and he has turned out twice for Germany. Meanwhile, the German international has piqued the attention of several well-known clubs with his progress. Premier League outfits, in particular, have been keen on signing him for a long time, with Leeds United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Leeds United’s interest in Anton Stach is understandable. The Whites are combing the market for a top-notch midfielder, even though Ao Tanaka and Ilia Gruev were excellent in the 2024/25 EFL Championship title-winning campaign. With Leeds United staring at the daunting task of remaining in the Premier League beyond the 2025/26 season, they must sign a new midfielder.
So, several candidates, including Douglas Luiz, have emerged on Leeds United’s radar, with Stach also a viable target. However, the newly promoted Premier League club will face stiff competition from several other clubs for his signature.
Meanwhile, it is unclear if TSG Hoffenheim will accept a bid to part ways with 26-year-old German international in the summer transfer window. Leeds United will hope to beat the competition to Stach’s signature in the coming weeks.
