According to TeamTalk, Daniel Farke played a significant role after it was revealed that Nick Hammond had agreed to stay with Leeds United for the next two transfer windows.
Before the deal was agreed, the German was involved in talks with Paraag Marathe and Angus Kinnear, according to the online source.
Farke is said to have had the final say on Hammond staying after he impressed as a temporary transfer consultant over the summer following relegation.
A tumultuous start to the summer ended with what could be described as a very impressive window.
As the season came to an end, player after player left the club, with little transfer activity on the horizon, but as the window progressed, deals for Ethan Ampadu, Joel Piroe, and Joe Rodon all came in.
Leeds fans were pleased with the business done, especially with the retention of Dan James, Willy Gnonto, Georginio Rutter, and Crysencio Summerville.
Hierarchy.
Following the dismissal of Marcelo Bielsa, numerous managers were simply told what to do, with Victor Orta and Andrea Radrizzani becoming far too involved.
Now, the 49ers Enterprises have taken over, and Farke has been given the authority to shape the club exactly how he wants it, which is exactly what should happen.
After a turbulent summer, the Whites finally have more control, with the chaos no longer visible, and the performances are improving.
The goal is promotion, and keeping players in January while potentially bringing in one or two new faces will be critical, which is where Hammond comes in.
At Elland Road, the consultant has stayed under the radar, conducting his business quietly and never really being seen, which has worked wonders.
Following successful talks and the signing of another agreement, here’s to more successful transfer windows in the near future.
