Leeds United 'keen' on Dynamo Dresden midfielder and Germany youth international Kofi Amoako
Leeds United linked with Dynamo Dresden midfielder and Germany youth international Kofi Amoako
Leeds United are reportedly keen on luring Germany youth international Kofi Amoako from Dynamo Dresden.
The 20-year-old left Wolfsburg last year, dropping into Germany’s second tier in search of first-team opportunities.
His decision has been vindicated, as Amoako has made significant strides as a regular fixture in the Dynamo midfield. This season, he has made a total of 31 appearances across all competitions.
Leeds United ‘keen’ on German prodigy
According to BILD, his displays have caught attention from the top tier of German football and there is thought to be interest from Union Berlin, Hamburg and Mainz.
Leeds have also been credited with interest and it has been suggested the arrival of the Whites into the chasing pack could drive up Dynamo’s asking price.
A defensive-minded midfielder, Amoako could potentially provide competition for Ethan Ampadu in a key department. Alternatively, Leeds could opt to sign him and then loan him out to ensure he continues developing at speed.
The German market is one Leeds have explored in depth of late, signing the likes of Anton Stach, Ilia Gruev and Lukas Nmecha from the country’s pyramid.
Leeds also appear to be keen on strengthening the defensive side of their midfield department as they have also been linked with Sporting Lisbon’s Hidemasa Morita.
Leeds United focusing on the short-term for now
With the end of the 2025/26 season in sight, transfer speculation is circulating at speed, but the Whites first need to confirm their Premier League survival.
Once top-flight status is officially retained, concrete plans for the summer ahead can start to take shape. Whites manager Daniel Farke has been reluctant to discuss summer plans with the season still ongoing and safety not yet mathemtically secured.
