Leeds United will return to Premier League play next month, as the club works to strengthen its roster ahead of the new season.
With the start of a new month, the first match against Everton at Elland Road on Monday, August 18, is growing closer.
Before then, Whites fans may get the opportunity to view any new players in pre-season friendly against Manchester United, Villarreal, and AC Milan. Leeds has added two new players to its squad during the summer transfer window.
Striker Lukas Nmecha has arrived on a free transfer from Wolfsburg, and defender Jaka Bijol has also joined from Udinese.
The Whites also appear to be preparing a bid for Wolfsburg centre-back Sebastiaan Bornauw. The Belgian allegedly had a medical at Thorp Arch before finalizing his deal.
He isn’t the only player linked with a move to Leeds this summer. With that in mind, we looked at a few of the most recent stories and shared our own perspectives on the situation.
Nikola Krstovic’s hint
According to sources, Leece are in talks about a potential replacement for Nikola Krstovic, who is linked with Leeds United.
According to the print version of Corriere Dello Sport, the Italian club is ‘in talks’ to sign Basel attacker Kevin Carlos. If Krstovic leaves the clubs this summer, the forward is expected to be a major target.
LeedsLive reports that Leece are looking for a potential replacement for the striker, which bodes well for Leeds’ chances of signing him this summer.
Leeds should prioritize finding a new striker this season, with Joel Piroe having yet to play in the Premier League and Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford’s futures uncertain. With 11 goals in Serie A last season, Krstovic may be an excellent signing for Leeds.
£40 million transfer watch
Leeds United will be keeping a watch on this summer’s transfer crisis involving Newcastle United and Burnley, which might have a domino effect.
According to the Mirror, the Magpies are close to making a deal for Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, who is valued at £40 million by the Clarets. According to the source, Newcastle’s Nick Pope is being monitored by Leeds.
If Newcastle completes the Trafford transfer, Pope may be free to make a move.
