Ivan Karpov stated on his Telegram channel on Saturday, February 1, that Leeds United is not interested in signing Eduard Spertsyan from Krasnodar. The Whites want to beat Sunderland to a last-minute deal for the 24-year-old.
However, after contacting Leeds for clarity, Russian broadcaster Match TV has put an end to rumors that Spertsyan will be coming to Elland Road. The Whites’ publicity office told Match TV on February 2 that it was untrue.
Leeds United no more signings?
It’s probable that Daniel Farke’s team will play the second half of the season without making any additions when the winter transfer window closes on Monday, February 3.
The likelihood that nobody will visit Thorp Arch on Monday is growing as Leeds United’s interest in Spertsyan is thrown out.
To increase their attacking options, the West Yorkshire team is still hoping to recruit Southampton’s Cameron Archer. The Saints have already turned down Leeds’ £15 million offer for Archer, but there is still a chance that a deal might be reached. If Danny Ings is signed by Southampton after Evan Ferguson’s loan move to West Ham United [David Anderson], Farke’s team might be able to obtain the former Aston Villa forward’s services.
If Leeds United had been interested in signing Spertsyan from Krasnodar, he would have given Brenden Aaronson competition.
With six goals and three assists in 18 league games thus far this season, the Armenian international is contributing significantly to the Russian team’s run for the championship. In other Leeds United news, the Whites have a goal for this player’s transfer before Monday’s deadline.
