Leeds United and West Brom ‘prepared to buy’ 27-year-old – Club ‘reluctant to offload’ player

Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion are in the picture to sign Eric Smith from FC St. Pauli in the summer window, according to a report from Sweden.

The centre-back initially joined the German club on loan from KAA Gent in January 2021 and made his stay there permanent later that year.

Smith was a regular for St. Pauli and contributed eight goals (two goals and six assists) in 30 games in the recently concluded season.

Leeds and West Brom are showing interest in the 27-year-old, according to Aftonbladet, as reported by Fotbollskanalen.
