KRISTOFFER KLAESSON: THIS IS THE RIGHT STEP - Leedsunited.com 31/7/21
Goalkeeper on joining Leeds United.
New Leeds United signing Kristoffer Klaesson spoke
exclusively to LUTV after signing for Leeds United.
The goalkeeper has signed a four-year-deal at Elland Road,
after joining from Norwegian outfit VĂ¥lerenga.
Klaesson, who has won 38 caps at youth level for Norway,
revealed his delight at becoming Leeds’ sixth summer recruit.
“I’m really happy to be here, it’s a really big club with a
lot of history,” said Klaesson.
“The coaching staff here are brilliant and I think I can
develop a lot over the next few years and hopefully I will play one day.
“I want to push Illan Meslier as hard as I can, to make him
play at his best all of the time.
“It’s a big step up from VĂ¥lerenga where I was before, but I
believe this is the right step, I want to develop and hopefully one day play in
the Premier League with Leeds.
“It’s going to be a different style of play to what I’m used
to, but I’m ready for it.
“I know a couple of Leeds fans back at home, Leeds has a
huge fan base in Norway and I’ve heard the atmosphere in the stadium is crazy
when it’s full, so I’m really excited.”
