Leeds in talks over move for Salzburg's Kristensen


Leeds United are in talks over a deal to sign RB Salzburg's right-back Rasmus Kristensen. 

The 24-year-old is said to be a target of clubs including Borussia Dortmund and Brentford, with reports suggesting the right-back would cost in the region of £10m.

He played a crucial role during the 2021/22 season, as Salzburg secured an eighth straight Austrian Bundesliga title, scoring 10 goals and assisting another eight.

Kristensen - who started his career in his homeland with FC Midtjylland - joined Ajax on a four-and-a-half-year deal back in 2018, but found playing time hard to come by at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

He subsequently signed for Salzburg in the summer of 2019 - where he worked with current Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch - and has since collected four senior Denmark caps.
