Leeds United are set to welcome an unnamed German footballer for a trial this week, sources have told Football Insider.
The Championship side had been negotiating to sign former Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate, but they have now pulled the plug on that deal.
However, the Yorkshire giants are still in the market for a new signing due to the injury crisis the team are dealing with right now.
Club captain Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev are both unavailable until next year after suffering knee injuries, stretching Daniel Farke’s options.
The Whites are now bringing in a German star to undergo a trial as Farke and his coaching team evaluate him.

Farke wants to bring in a midfielder before the January transfer window to ensure his team remains competitive while dealing with several injury problems.
The Yorkshire giants are currently fifth in the Championship after the opening nine games, sitting just two points behind league leaders Sunderland.
Farke has been forced to consistently change his starting midfield due to the injuries his team are dealing with as he now looks for a consistent option.
The Yorkshire giants want to replace Illan Meslier after concerns have risen within the club over his inconsistent performances at Elland Road.
