Leeds United are closing in on a deal to bring Jordan Miles to Elland Road.
According to Leeds Live, Leeds United are in the “home stretch” of their search for a new head of recruitment at Elland Road.
According to the West Yorkshire news outlet (9 December), Aberdeen‘s Jordan Miles has emerged as their main target and could potentially be set for a quick return to English football, where he previously worked at West Ham.
The Daily Record claimed on December 7 that the Whites are hoping to sign the recruitment specialist before the January transfer window opens.
According to Leeds Live, if an agreement is made with Miles, he will report to technical director Gretar Steinsson and will be a part of the player identification process that is being implemented.
Collaboration is also expected with temporary football advisor Nick Hammond and manager Daniel Farke.
This news will delight Leeds fans, as the club is determined to build on the tremendous success made under Farke and usher in a new era both behind the scenes and on the pitch.
Leeds United appear to be setting up for a busy January transfer window with a couple more acquisitions that could boost Farke‘s promotion ambitions, with the club seeking to move quickly on their expected new appointment.
However, long-term strategic thinking will be critical, and Miles might play a key role in discovering new exciting prospects who not only suit the Elland Road mould but can also help the club financially in the long run.
Ultimately, the Whites will be planning for a longer stay in the Premier League, and recruitment is a huge part of that aim, so the planning must begin now, and Miles, or anyone else, will be key.
It’s encouraging to see Leeds United looking to flourish in both the short and long future with this potential appointment.
