According to the Spanish publication AS, Leeds United are one among several clubs interested in Granada’s Albanian winger Myrto Uzuni, who helped Granada secure promotion in 2022-23.
The 31-year-old Albanian international had a role in 28 goals and assists in Spain‘s second division, scoring 23 and setting up five more. He is still at Granada, who have returned to La Liga. Their main man, Uzuni.

It’s no wonder that the 28-year-old wide man is gaining attention. AS claims that, in addition to Leeds, Southampton and Brentford are interested. Reims of Ligue 1 and Galatasaray of Turkey are both interested.
This interest has surfaced’recently,’ as have‘sirens‘ from Saudi Arabia. Granada, on the other hand, is standing hard, asking that any exit need interested parties to pay his full release clause, which is worth £21.4 million.

You would have assumed Leeds were well-stocked on the flanks at the start of the window. However, Cree Summerville‘s injury and the unwillingness to play of Willy Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra have left us short.
Helder Costa is no longer playing for the club, and both parties have agreed that a transfer is necessary. Jack Harrison has joined Everton on loan from Leeds. That leaves us with only two choices. Dan James and Ian Poveda.

Poveda went out with an adductor injury versus West Brom. Jamie Shackleton started on the right flank for the second time in as many games, having done so against Birmingham. Leeds are in desperate need of wingers.
Uzuni would be a fantastic signing. However, there is a risk. Without a question, it is costly. Especially for a 28-year-old who has never played in England. Based on his statistics, he would be an excellent addition.
