Leeds United defender Robin Koch has revealed what is was like to swap the streets of Freiburg for the streets of Leeds when he joined the club back in 2020.
The German international signed a four-year deal with the Whites for a reported fee of £13 million from the Bundesliga club but his time at Elland Road has been marred by injuries to his knees and pelvis.
So far this season, he has stood out to both fans and pundits alike and was named as captain in the team's 5-2 loss to Brentford in Leeds' last games.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the German international spoke about how he's felt nothing but welcome at the Yorkshire club since joining in 2020.
"I felt quite good here from the beginning. Even with Covid, it wasn't the easiest time to move to a new city and a new country, but the team made it so easy for me and welcomed me from day one.
"After Covid got better, the shops opened and people went more into the city, I walked around and had a connection to Leeds supporters and felt how special the club is to the city. Everyone knows Leeds United and everyone knows who you are.
"They are so fanatic with the club and it's nice to be here and it's a nice relationship with the fans. When I walk through the city, everyone comes to speak to you, wishes you all the best and are always positive, even in the hard situations like last year.
"This makes it so special and I really enjoy it, on the pitch with the boys and living here."
