German forward of Nigerian descent, Lukas Nmecha, has shared his delight after signing for Leeds United.
Speaking in his first interview, the attacker said he believes the move to the English Premier League club is a great challenge for him.
“It’s just a great challenge and I’m really excited to get to know the team,” Nmecha explained as quoted on the Leeds United website.
He continued, “I’ve spoken with the manager many times and I’m excited to play that style of football that they played in the Championship, even in the Premier League.
“I saw that there was dominance last season in terms of possession and the goals. I’m an attacking player, so obviously that’s exciting for me.
“Of course, in the Premier League, there’s some big boys in there where you can’t play like that all the time, but I think the idea of the manager is to play good football, possession football, and that’s what I’m used to and what I love doing.
“I wish we could get going now, but we still have a few weeks of pre-pre-season, getting the runs in and all that! But, I just can’t wait to start training now.”
Lukas Nmecha, 26, completed his switch to Leeds United on Sunday, June 15. He has signed a two-year contract after leaving VfL Wolfsburg.
