Philipp Max: Leeds United plan ripped up as PSV distort demands for left-back after optimistic offer

Announcer James Marshment feels that Philipp Max would exist a 'significant' improvement for Leeds United at left-back.

Co-ordinate to Italian media outlet Tuttomercatoweb, Leeds take 'decided' to make an €8m (£6.7m) offer for the PSV total-dorsum as they look to solve their crisis in that surface area.

Leif Davis' move to Ipswich Town has left Jesse Marsch without a fit, recognised left-back just a week out from the society's Premier League opener at home to Wolves.

Inferior Firpo has been ruled out for up to eight weeks, while Stuart Dallas continues to recover from a broken leg. And while the American coach noted that Pascal Struijk and Jack Harrison could be 'solutions', he did hint that the Whites may look to the market to plug the gap.

Leeds forked out £12.8m to bring in Firpo just last year, merely later coming in for criticism for his performances and dubbed a ' large let-downwardly ' past Daily Mirror journalist David Anderson, Marshment has now suggested that Max would offering a drastic 'upgrade' if signed.

Speaking on the JustJoe Football Prove, he said: "I'm surprised likewise, £7m, but I've looked a little bit more into information technology, and he's got two years left on his bargain and he's never quite settled at PSV due east ven though he's had a pretty good career there.

"He's got 8 goals and eighteen assists in 91 games for them, which when you consider those numbers for a full-back, is a very loftier standard, so I'd be more than than happy to see him at Leeds.

"To me, he would be a significant upgrade on Firpo.

"I've had a few people who know the Eredivisie a chip more closely, maxim 'well actually, defensively he's a flake doubtable and that's why PSV are willing to allow him depart', but I mean, that's for Victor Orta to practice his research."

TIF Thoughts on Max and Leeds…

Is Firpo skilful plenty for Leeds?

Yes!

No!

28-yr-old Max has established himself every bit a consistent threat downwardly the left-paw side over the past number of years, and considering the rampaging influence of Rasmus Kristensen on the right, Marsch could be on to another winner hither.

During his time at his two most contempo clubs, Augsburg and PSV, he has scored 15 goals and provided twoscore assists in 209 games at left-back, averaging a goal return less than every iv games.

While Victor Orta may seek to find out any frailties he may have in defending, Leeds' supporters will surely be relishing the prospect of the three-cap Germany ace arriving in Yorkshire – but it does remain to be seen if that will materialise.
