Wober has been a target for Marsch for some time

Leeds United have signed Austria defender Max Wober from Red Bull Salzburg on a four-and-a-half-year deal, for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old played under Whites coach Jesse Marsch at Salzburg where he made 125 appearances.

Wober, who can operate at both centre-back and left-back, becomes the Elland Road club's first g of the January transfer window.

He could make his debut in Sunday's FA Cup round three tie at Cardiff City.

Wober became the Austrian Bundesliga's most expensive g in August 2019 when he completed a 10.5m euros move from Ajax to Salzburg.

During the past three-and-a-half years at the Red Bull Arena, Wober has won the Austrian League and Cup double three times in a row.
