Leeds United have had their eye on West Ham’s Ben Johnson since January, but recent reports suggest Galatasaray have entered the race with a lucrative offer.
With Leeds missing out on promotion to the Premier League, their transfer strategy will need to be cost-effective. Free agents could provide a smart solution, and Johnson is a player they have been pursuing.
Johnson’s contract with West Ham is set to expire soon, attracting interest from several clubs, including Leeds. However, West Ham has made a significant offer to keep him.
The situation has become more complicated, as Galatasaray has reportedly offered Johnson a contract worth €2 million a year. The Turkish club boasts several former Premier League players, making them a strong contender for Johnson’s signature.
While Johnson would be a valuable addition for Leeds in the Championship, the financial aspect could be a stumbling block. However, the promise of playing time may sway his decision in Leeds’ favor.
