00:00Leeds United's latest signing, Sebastian Borno, has said that he is excited to once again link up with Lucas Nemecha who he was only recently a teammate with at Wolfsburg in Germany, both of whom have now signed, of course, for Leeds United in the Premier League.
00:15Yeah, I know Lucas is very good, actually the story is really funny because he arrived in Wolfsburg like one week prior that I arrived and four years later we do the same.
00:26So, yeah, I know him really good, he's a good friend of mine, so always happy to have someone already in the dressing room, you know.
00:33Well, they'll talk about Leeds coming out to the Championship and into the Premier League, you know it's going to be a really big season for this football club, isn't it?
00:42Yeah, I think it's a really big season, I think it's really important to stay in the Premier League, it's going to be a tough battle but I like tough battles.
00:49And, yeah, I think from there on we hope to progress and then bring the club where it belongs.
00:55So, let's talk about the way you play the game, how do you like to play it?
00:59I'm quite an aggressive defender I would say, I'm strong, I like duels, I think it's pretty English and I think as a centre-back I'm dangerous in front of the goal,
01:11I like offensive set pieces.
01:14And now, some very sad news to bring you from the world of football and that is the tragic death of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota,
01:22who has been killed in a car accident alongside his brother Andre Silva in Spain.
01:28The two were travelling in the early hours of Thursday morning in a Lamborghini when according to reports a tyre burst causing the car to veer off-road and set on fire.
01:40Jota was only 28 at the time of his death with his brother Andre being 26.
01:47Jota had played for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool during his time in England and recently won the Nations League with his native Portugal,
01:56having of course also just won the Premier League with Liverpool just last season.
02:00He leaves behind his wife who he only recently got married to as well as their three children.
02:06Liverpool and Wolves have paid their respects as well as several other clubs across this country and indeed Europe.
