Leeds United explore free transfer to sign Michael Lang with one deal done
Leeds United are looking to add defensive cover by exploring a free transfer for Swiss right-back Michael Lang, according to the Daily Mail.
It was reported on page 75 of their print edition [23 August] that a deal was being looked into for Lang, 33, who left Basel in the summer.
od this summer, veteran full-back Lang could be a smart piece of business on a free transfer.
Leeds United do have Jayden Bogle on their arrivals list in the same position, but with the threadbare nature of Daniel Farke’s squad, there remains need for further incomings.
Lang has enjoyed a steady European career – based mainly in Switzerland – as well as a spell in Germany, and has 31 senior Swiss caps.
The defender has played at three major international tournaments including two World Cups, and has Champions League experience under his belt.
Ramazani’s switch to Elland Road provides a welcome boost, with clubs expected to make life tricky for Leeds in the final week of the window in terms of the fees requested for players, aware of their situation.

Anthony Elanga sends Largie Ramazani Leeds United message
The former Manchester United youngster is a signing that the Elland Road faithful are getting excited about after a quiet transfer window.
There was concern building among supporters given that Daniel Farke had lost two of his key attackers from his squad during the summer.
It will be a tough ask for any new signing to come close to what Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter added to the squad last season.
Bringing in Ramazani could prove to be an ideal option to add into the side given the versatility he can add when starting and off the bench.
At 23, the ex-Almeria man has plenty of room to grow and could prove to suit the Championship down to a tee if he gets the game time.
The Whites have finally completed a transfer for an attacking star and Farke will be hoping that this is the first of many ahead of deadline day.
