Diarra’s Ligue 1 record this season.
It has been stated that the 21-year-old will leave the Ligue 1 club for a sum of roughly £17 million.
The West Yorkshire club could make an announcement shortly on their second signing this summer, as it appears that a deal for the Senegal international has been finalized.
Farke to be delighted with Diarra transfer at Leeds
Farke will likely be thrilled that Diarra will soon join Leeds, as he intends to build a competitive squad in the Premier League.
Joe Rothwell’s loan deal from Bournemouth is unlikely to be extended, making it critical for the Whites to strengthen their engine room.
Josuha Guilavogui will also not be part of the German manager’s team next season, and more choices may be required to avoid relegation.
Leeds cannot begin the forthcoming season with a lack of midfield depth, as this hampered them during their Championship title drive.
The injuries to Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev left Elland Road fans concerned, but Ao Tanaka’s appearance helped calm their fears.
Diarra will undoubtedly be a great addition to the Whites’ squad, but Farke should push for more midfield acquisitions from 49ers Enterprises.
The situation in LS11 will be closely monitored in the coming hours, as the transfer of the Strasbourg captain may be officially finalized.
