Leeds United have been handed a boost as one of their transfer targets is believed to be trying to push through a late move to Elland Road this summer.
Leeds start Championship season poorly
After two games of a Championship season in which Leeds were favourites to secure promotion, they sit in sixteenth place without a win, having followed their 3-3 opening day draw with Portsmouth up with a 0-0 affair against West Bromwich Albion.
Between those ties, Daniel Farke’s side were dumped out of the EFL Cup in the first round after being thrashed 3-0 by Middlesbrough at Elland Road as their season threatens to die out before it has even truly started.

Speaking after the game, Farke revealed that he felt he needed at least four new faces in the final 11 days of the transfer window: “We would need cover at full-back, in midfield and two offensive positions. [I] Cannot guarantee we will get all of these, but four is roughly what I would like to see.”
Midfield is certainly an issue, with both Archie Gray and Glen Kamara having departed the club this summer in deals worth close to a combined £50m.
It means that Leeds only have three recognised options to fill the double pivot role in Farke’s side, with last season’s options Ilia Gruev and Ethan Ampadu boosted by the arrival of Joe Rothwell on loan from Bournemouth. Now though, they may have be
en handed a boost in their pursuit of a fourth.
