Brandt can be 'game-changer' for Leeds

German football journalist and editor of Ruhr Nachrichten Jurgen Koers says Julian Brandt can be a "game-changer" for Leeds if he makes the move to the Premier League.

Brandt, 30, left Borussia Dortmund after seven years at the end of last season and has been linked with a move to the Whites.

"I have been following Julian Brandt and his time at Borussia Dortmund for a long time," Nachrichten told BBC Radio Leeds' Adam Pope.

"He's a special player because the skill set that he has - technical quality, ball control, passing range, and also scoring and assisting - is rare. He is the type of guy who likes to gamble a lot, he likes to take risks. He wants to create chances, create goals, he likes to play forward all the time.

"He's got everything he needs to be one of the top five offensive midfielders in Germany but despite all these gifts he never made a big, big breakthrough considering guys like Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz.

"Brandt never really performed for the national team as well as he could do considering the abilities he has.

"He can be a game-changer. No way he is lazy and not taking part in the defensive part of the game. He covers a lot of metres in every game but his strength is to see gaps no-one else can see and find small spaces between the lines to move the ball with one touch and create chances."
