Max Wober: Right moment in career to join Leeds

Leeds United's newest arrival Max Wober has spoken about his delight at signing for the club.

The 24-year-old defender signed a four and a half year contract with Jesse Marsch's team.

The former RB Salzburg centre-back, who can also play left-back, is eager to show the crowd at Elland Road his talent.

"It's a massive challenge for me," said Wober to LUTV.

"I've already seen a lot, I've played for Ajax and Sevilla along with three-and-a-half years with Salzburg.

"Coming now to Leeds, a club with such a big history and tradition is definitely something special and was always a dream for me growing up, arriving at Elland Road feels amazing.

"Some of my biggest strengths are my personality and character, I'm never going to give up on the pitch, I will leave it all out there, it doesn't matter what score it is or if we are winning or losing, I'll give everything for this badge.

"I have to work hard to get into the team and play well to get accepted in the dressing room and try to grow with every opportunity I get.

"I will play wherever the team needs me, it doesn't matter if it is left-back, center-back or as a number six, I'm fine with everything and will give my best.

"I'm experienced at playing as a left-back and I really like it, especially being more offensive."
