Leeds push for midfield and wing reinforcements
Former Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville, now at relegated West Ham, is valued at £40m after World Cup form. Spurs, Arsenal, Aston Villa and PSG are linked.
Gary McAllister says Leeds must sell Pascal Struijk if he will not sign a new deal, citing team stability and avoiding a free exit. Farke wants clarity as pre-season nears.
Leeds are open to selling Ilia Gruev if Shea Charles arrives from Southampton. Gruev, key in promotion and last season’s run, is in his final contract year and favours staying in the Premier League.
Leeds urged to consider Juventus striker Lois Openda only on a straight loan late in the window, not a fee. Suggests he may need to partner Calvert-Lewin or Nmecha to fit Farke’s direct style.
Leeds target free agent Julian Brandt to boost attack. Dortmund’s Niko Kavoc likened his level to Wirtz and Musiala. Club plan ‘fewer, higher quality’ additions per Paraag Marathe.
Leeds bid £20m for Southampton’s Shea Charles, but Saints reject as valuation not met. Talks ongoing, with Manchester United also tracking the Northern Ireland midfielder.
Blackburn have a £650k-plus add-ons bid rejected for ex-Leeds forward Sam Greenwood, now at Pogon Szczecin. The 24-year-old made 22 appearances last season, scoring three with two assists.
Leeds reopen talks to sign Sporting’s Hidemasa Morita on a free, with the midfielder keen on Elland Road. Moves also progress for Shea Charles, Harry Wilson and Julian Brandt.
Leeds consider moves for Parma’s Zion Suzuki (£35m) and Newcastle’s Nick Pope (£5m) as Meslier departs and Darlow, Cairns face contract calls. Perri was dropped for Darlow late last season.
Harry Wilson’s expected free transfer would push Wilfried Gnonto out, with Freiburg in talks. Gnonto struggled after Farke’s switch and a sale could fund further Leeds reinforcements.
Opinion urges Farke to reduce Brenden Aaronson’s minutes despite work rate, citing Pochettino benching him. Calls for a new right winger, with Harry Wilson floated as an ideal upgrade.
Leeds revive move for free agent Harry Wilson after last summer’s collapse. Initial talks held, with Aston Villa and Benfica also keen. Marco Silva called Wilson ‘incredible’ at Fulham.
