Leeds United tell Dynamo Dresden: Lukas Nmecha is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Enzo Leopold gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Enzo Leopold has just signed for Dynamo Dresden, and for once the answer mattered.

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Elias Bethke commits to Dynamo Dresden for another 4 years.
