All the latest Leeds United news and transfer speculations as Daniel Farke attempts to guide the Whites to their first league win of the season.
Leeds United will now face Ipswich Town in their quest for their first Championship victory of the season.
Daniel Farke‘s players have drew two and lost one so far, and most of the focus has been on the paucity of incomings at Elland Road, which has left Farke with a depleted team. Leeds are now entirely focused on bringing in new players, and they will require a number of fresh signings if they are to launch a promotion drive between now and January.
In the interim, we’ve compiled all the most recent Elland Road-related news and transfer rumours.
Archer asserts
One of the “favourites” to sign Cameron Archer from Aston Villa is reportedly Leeds.
While Patrick Bamford has struggled with injury, the Whites are looking for a striker to replace Rodrigo Moreno. After a standout loan stint with Middlesbrough last season, Archer is reportedly a choice. Football League World claims that Leeds and Sheffield United are dominating the competition to sign Archer.
Despite rumours to the contrary, Leeds are unlikely to pay Villa‘s asking price of £20 million for the forward this summer because they play in the Championship.
Gray acclaim
Luke Ayling has praised Archie Gray‘s rapid turnaround and offered a strong prediction regarding his future.
Ayling was full of praise for the teenager after Leeds‘ draw with West Brom, shining light on the midfielder’s physical progress over the previous year following his injury recovery and stating his optimism in the “great things” that lie ahead in the long term.
“It’s huge for us,” Ayling remarked when asked how impressed he was with Gray‘s maturity. “We lost a lot of players this summer, and for someone like Archie to come in after missing a lot of last year, he worked so hard in the gym.”
“He returned from preseason like a new man.” His legs were like a man’s legs, he’s returned with a man’s body, and to play four games in four days at Championship level is incredible. But he has a terrific head on his shoulders, a great family around him, and I am confident he has tremendous things ahead of him.”
Buananotte pursuit
According to report, Leeds United are in talks with Brighton and Hove Albion about a loan deal for attacking midfielder Facundo Buonanotte.
“He returned from preseason like a new man.” His legs were like a man’s legs, he’s returned with a man’s body, and to play four games in four days at Championship level is incredible. But he has a terrific head on his shoulders, a great family around him, and I am confident he has tremendous things ahead of him.”
The 18-year-old joined the Seagulls on January 1 and made 13 Premier League appearances, scoring his only goal in a 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest.
He joined Brighton for about £10 million from Rosari Central, where he made 34 appearances and scored four goals.
Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has hinted that he may loan the player out since he cannot promise him consistent game time this season.
