It is not always easy moving to a new city, let alone a new country, but especially during a global pandemic that saw most of the world locked down. But in August 2020, Leeds defender Robin Koch did just that.
The centre-back was signed as a replacement for then-Brighton loanee Ben White ahead of Leeds’ return to the Premier League, but has not always found England’s top flight easy.
After a debut he would likely rather forget against Liverpool at the start of the 2020/21 season, injuries to himself and the squad overall has seen his playing time restricted, or played out of position to cover other areas over the last two seasons.
But despite some difficult moments, 26-year-old Koch has never felt anything but welcome in Leeds.
“I felt quite good here from the beginning,” he said ahead of Sunday’s Premier League game against Aston Villa, live on Sky Sports.
