Liam Cooper's verdict as Leeds United prepare to complete £13m Robin Koch transfer

Leeds United face Liverpool first up in their big Premier League return next weekend but the Whites still have plenty planned ahead of that opening fixture.

News on Marcelo Bielsa's men has been coming thick and fast this summer thanks to the reduced gap between seasons and the club's return to the top tier which has brought with it bags of transfer speculation.

We have that and other news in the latest Leeds round-up in today's morning digest. Check it out below.

The ultimate lowdown on Rodrigo

Cooper offers kit verdict

Leeds United captain Liam Cooper has provided his view on the club's new shirt for the 2020/21 season.

Cooper guided the Whites to promotion out of the Championship last term and will be a focal point of Bielsa's defence once again.

Leeds' new kit has not been officially released yet but Cooper insists that it will be a 'big hit'.

"It is lovely, yes, it's nice," Cooper told LUTV. "I am sure it will be a hit with the fans.

"I don't know if they have seen the away one yet but I really like the away one as well, and the third one is lovely as well.

"I am looking forward to wearing the kits. This little baby here (the Premier League sleeve badge) is nice and I am just delighted to be able to represent this club with Adidas and go and play in the Premier League."

Koch transfer move to Leeds close

Robin Koch's move to Leeds United could be completed this weekend.

Sky Deutschland, per Sport Witness, have reported that Koch's medical is this weekend.

The SC Freiburg defender is set to sign for the Whites in a deal worth around £13 million.

Felipe's potential weakness

Leeds are in the mix for Lazio defender Luiz Felipe but there could be a big issue with the move.

The 23-year-old Brazilian is undoubtedly talented and could offer Bielsa a fantastic option at the back.

But Matthew Gault is questioned whether Felipe has a big weakness which could hinder him in the Premier League.
