RB Salzburg defender Rasmus Kristiansen excited joining Leeds

RB Salzburg defender Rasmus Kristensen is excited to be joining Leeds United.

The Whites are believed to be paying just under £10 million for the Dane's services, who will follow teammate Brendan Aaronson over from Austria.

Leeds pipped Borussia Dortmund and Brentford to the right-back, who scored 10 goals and assisted eight in 44 Austrian Bundesliga games, featuring a further 10 times in the Champions League.

"It may be that he's waiting to tell me something so I can stay focused on the national team these days," he told Bold when asked about contact with his agent over the move.

"I have asked to be barred from getting information until I have to make a choice."

"No, not the last few days, but I do not need to google Leeds United to know about that club.

"There is both a former teammate and my former coach who has switched to them. It is a huge club, a traditional club. It is the world's best league, and it will be huge to get a foot in there."
