Leeds United agree deal to sign Pierre-Michel Lasogga

Leeds United have agreed on a deal to sign the highly rated German forward Pierre-Michel Lasogga on a season long loan from Hamburg.

The move has been confirmed on the club’s official website and the player will wear the iconic number 9 shirt at Elland Road this season.

Lasogga should prove to be a cracking addition to Thomas Christiansen’s side. The Whites needed to sign an attacker after the departure of Chris Wood and the German is an ideal replacement.

The 25-year-old has proven himself at the top level in Germany and he should be able to make an instant impact in the Championship.
