Bremen reach agreement in principle with Leeds right-back

Werder Bremen have reached an agreement in principle with Leeds United's right-back Isaac Schmidt.

Sky Germany journalist Patrick Berger reports that the Bundesliga club is working on a loan deal for the Swiss native.

Leeds and Bremen are still negotiating details - it’s not yet clear whether the deal will include a purchase option or obligation.

Leeds boss Daniel Farke is hopeful that he can secure a replacement before giving the deal the green light of approval.

Last season, Schmidt made 12 substitute appearances for the Yorkshire club in the EFL Championship on their way to promotion.

The 25-year-old initially joined Leeds from St.Gallen last summer on a 4-year deal which cost around €3million.
