The first of the new boys is set to be at right back, with Kristensen looking towards a debut against Bruno Lage’s side following a full pre-season. Though no other defensive signings are expected, Leeds’ first choice centre back pairing remains up in the air.

Robin Koch ended last season well and deserves a shot in his favoured position, though Diego Llorente will not want to lose his place ahead of the
