Kristensen signed for Leeds in 2022 as Jesse Marsch looked to assemble a squad that could survive relegation in the Premier League. United did go down that year, though, and the full-back spent the 2023-24 campaign at Roma before switching to Germany for this season.
DID YOU KNOW?
Kristensen is set to play his first match as a permanent Eintracht player against Tottenham in the Europa League on Thursday. He played 90 minutes last week as his side secured a 1-1 draw that puts them in a good position ahead of the second leg on their own patch.

Leeds have long since got used to the fact that Kristensen no longer features for them and have other things to worry about, sitting top of the Championship with four matches to play. Daniel Farke's side know that a maximum of three wins from their final four games will see them promoted to the Premier League.
