00:00 He has become a specialist as a central defender.
00:04 He used to play a lot of Premier League games on the six,
00:08 but recently he has always played in the central defence.
00:11 He can play both positions and in the three-man chain.
00:15 This way we get Leon Goretzka free for midfield in the very first line.
00:20 Leon hopefully doesn't have to switch from left back to right centre-back.
00:29 He's always done that very well.
00:32 That's the first thing.
00:35 Otherwise, the same positions will remain in focus.
00:43 We'll see if anything else happens.
00:45 From experience we know that things can still go wrong at the last minute.
00:51 He's in Munich right now and we're trying to make him a mandatory player
00:55 and finalise the deal.
00:59 This way we can get another option as a central defender for our squad.
01:03 I'd like to wait and see if the agreement between the clubs and players is finalised.
01:15 Until the ink is dry.
01:17 He's done a good job of researching and he's definitely in town.
