Wagner currently plies his trade in the United States with Philadelphia Union, having joined the club from German side Würzburger Kickers in 2019.

His exploits stateside have led to links with an array of clubs in Europe, including Leeds, West Ham United, Fulham and Brentford.

AS have claimed an agreement has not been reached on a new deal for Wagner, meaning he looks set to become a free agent when his deal expires at the end of the calendar year.

A left-sided wing-back by trade, Wagner has made 165 appearances for Philadelphia Union.

With Junior Firpo out injured, Leeds have used both Sam Byram and Jamie Shackleton as makeshift left-backs this season.

It is a role Pascal Struijk has also been used in previously, although the Dutchman has been deployed as a centre-back under Farke.
