Lukas Nmecha becomes first Leeds signing following promotion to Premier League

Nmecha, 26, arrives on a free transfer from Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg, bringing top-flight pedigree and international experience to Elland Road. The deal, effective July 1, marks the opening move in what is expected to be a transformative window for Daniel Farke's squad.

Born in Hamburg but raised in England, Nmecha rose through Manchester City's academy and made his Premier League bow in 2018. His career has since taken him across England, Belgium, and Germany, with notable spells at Preston North End, Middlesbrough, Anderlecht, and most recently Wolfsburg - where he made 73 appearances and earned seven caps for the German national team.

This signing isn't just about depth - it's a clear sign of intent. Leeds aren't just aiming to survive in the Premier League; they want to thrive. The club is reportedly preparing a war chest of over 100 million pounds to reshape the core of their team, targeting key upgrades at goalkeeper, centre-back, central midfield, and striker - with each position potentially commanding a 30 million pounds investment.

Names like Beto have already surfaced as targets, and once the spine is secured, Leeds plan to shift focus to youthful talent for their full-back and wide positions.

With Nmecha through the door, the message from Leeds is loud and clear: they're back, and they're not here to make up the numbers.
