Nikola Krstović Reaches Agreement with Leeds United FC in Landmark Summer Signing
Leeds, England – In a move that has sent waves of excitement through Elland Road and the footballing world alike, Serbian striker Nikola Krstović has officially reached an agreement with Leeds United FC, signaling the start of a new chapter in both his career and the club’s ambitions.
Krstović, who has been on the radar of several top-tier European clubs following a stellar season in Ligue 1 with Montpellier, has opted to join the Championship side with a clear vision: to help Leeds return to the Premier League and compete among the elite. The agreement was finalized earlier today at the club’s headquarters, where Krstović was photographed shaking hands with the Leeds United director in front of the iconic crest, a moment symbolizing unity and a shared goal.
The 24-year-old brings with him a combination of explosive pace, clinical finishing, and a fierce determination that has seen him rise through the ranks in European football. Known for his relentless work ethic and ability to find the back of the net under pressure, Krstović’s arrival is seen as a massive boost to Leeds United’s attacking force ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Speaking on the agreement, Leeds United’s Director of Football, Victor Orta, expressed his excitement:
“Nikola is a player we’ve tracked for a while. His qualities as a striker are exactly what we need to elevate our attacking game. More importantly, his mentality fits perfectly with the values of this club – commitment, hunger, and a desire to succeed.”
Krstović also shared his enthusiasm during the unveiling:
“Leeds United is a club with a rich history and passionate fans. I am honored to wear the white jersey and contribute to the club’s journey back to the Premier League. This is a challenge I embrace with open arms.”
The transfer is rumored to be in the region of £13 million, a strategic investment by Leeds’ management, who have made clear their intentions of building a young, dynamic squad capable of securing promotion and sustaining top-flight football.
Manager Daniel Farke, whose leadership has already shown promising signs, is expected to integrate Krstović into the starting lineup during pre-season, with fans eagerly awaiting his debut. His presence could complement existing talents such as Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville, forming a potent frontline.
Supporters’ reaction has been overwhelmingly positive across social media platforms, with many calling Krstović the “missing piece” in Leeds’ promotion puzzle. The energy around the club is palpably shifting toward optimism and ambition.
