Lukas Nmecha has become Leeds boss Daniel Farke's first summer signing as the club prepares for life back in the Premier League.

The 26-year-old striker, who has seven senior caps for Germany, will join the Whites on an initial two-year contract on July 1 when his current deal with Bundesliga side Wolfsburg expires.

A statement on Leeds' official website said: "Having fought off competition from other Premier League sides for his services, everyone at Leeds United looks forward to welcoming Lukas to Elland Road."

Hamburg-born Nmecha is a graduate of Manchester City's academy who made his Premier League debut as a substitute in a 4-1 win at West Ham in April 2018.

After loan spells with Preston, Wolfsburg, Middlesbrough and Anderlecht, he made a permanent switch to the German club in an £11million deal during the summer of 2021 and has since made 73 appearances and scored 19 goals.
