All the latest Leeds United news and transfer rumours as the Whites prepare to face Ipswich Town.
Leeds United are gearing up for a meeting with Ipswich Town in search of their first league victory of the season. In the midst of a diminishing squad at Elland Road, the Whites have been hard at work this week on fresh signings.
Daniel Farke has been short of numbers so far this season, but Leeds officials have always stated that they will move with ambition later in the window, and they are already beginning to follow those promises, with new arrivals likely. We’ve compiled a list of the most recent Elland Road news and transfers.
Amiri transaction
Leeds United are thought to have completed a deal to sign Nadiem Amiri from Bayer Leverkusen. According to Florian Plettenberg, Amiri preferred Marseille to the Whites, but once the French club discontinued their interest, a four-year deal with Leeds was agreed upon.
Everything has now been agreed upon, according to Kicker, with Amiri eventually saying ‘yes’ to the Whites’ deal. This might be a swift transaction as Leeds looks to bolster its team.
Update on the Farke transfer
According to Daniel Farke, Leeds are ‘not too far away’ from bolstering their squad as the club looks to sign a pair of strikers.
“We just speak about business once it’s done,” Farke remarked on Thursday. “I don’t comment on rumours as long as players aren’t under contract with us.” My sole concentration is on the game on Saturday, our available players, and getting our injured players as fit as possible.
“I was never bothered by transfers.” We were open about our desire to bolster the squad slightly. We aren’t far away. We’re on the right track, but it’s not easy. If we believe in a player and his abilities, we will endeavour to get him in as soon as feasible.”
‘Agreed’ Piroe
Swansea City manager Michael Duff believes the future of striker Joel Piroe will be resolved in the coming days, despite claims that Leeds United had negotiated a £12 million fee with the South Wales club.
Leeds United‘s pursuit of a striker appears to be coming to an end, with the Daily Mail reporting that a fee has been agreed between the Whites and Swansea City for 24-year-old attacker Joel Piroe. The revelation comes after Swansea manager Michael Duff made statements on Thursday morning clarifying the position regarding Piroe, who has one year left on his current deal with the Championship club.
“I imagine he’ll either sign a deal [at Swansea] or be sold,” Duff told WalesOnline. “I don’t see the club letting him run out his contract because it doesn’t make economic sense.” There have been discussions with Joel. It’s not a case of ‘I’m not signing a contract’. The club, his agent, and Joel have all communicated. I’m not sure where that is.”
Unconfirmed rumours surfaced on Wednesday that Leeds had presented a £10 million proposal, but further sources imply the alleged sum is more.
