Farke Lauds Stach's Quick Premier League Acclimation
22 Feb
Summary
- Stach has impressed Daniel Farke with his rapid Premier League adaptation.
- The German international joined Leeds for a £17m transfer fee.
- He scored his first Premier League goal within five league games.
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has expressed his admiration for new signing Anton Stach, describing him as a 'top character' whose quick adaptation to the Premier League is exceptionally rare.
Stach, a German international, was signed from Hoffenheim for a £17m transfer fee in July on a four-year contract, a move that reportedly disappointed his former club's supporters.
The six-foot-four midfielder has provided a physical presence and addressed Leeds' needs in set-piece situations. He quickly made an impact, scoring his first Premier League goal within his initial five league appearances.
Farke emphasized Stach's blend of physical attributes, on-the-ball skill, tactical understanding, and strong technique. He noted that while even top players typically require time to adjust to the Premier League's demands, Stach impressed from the very first day of pre-season.
This rapid integration has contributed to Leeds' solid form, with the team securing a point at Aston Villa. Stach, who has two caps for Germany, could see his profile rise further if he performs well for his country in upcoming international competitions.
