Report shows that Leeds have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Hoffenheim forward Georginio Rutter, who is set to become their new £35.5m club record signing.
The Premier League outfit have reached a ‘total agreement’ with Hoffenheim to sign the 20-year-old forward after expediating negotiations in the last 48 hours, according to Sky Germany. The player will fly to England to undergo medical once the finer details of the deal are sorted, which is expected to reach a total of £35.5m (€40m).
Rutter is all set to become the most expensive signing in Leeds’ history as his transfer fee surpasses the £27m paid for Rodrigo from Valencia in August 2020. He will reportedly sign a long-term contract that will keep him at Elland Road until 2028.
Leeds have not struggled for goals as they have netted 25 times in 17 Premier League matches this season, but the addition of Rutter underlines their ambition to finish in the top half of the table. They are currently in the 14th spot with 17 points from an equal number of matches. Moreover, they have also signed Max Wober from RB Salzburg to shore up their defence
