Leeds United are set to make some big moves in the transfer market in the coming weeks, as they look to reinvest the money received from Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham United.
The Whites are prioritizing the addition of cover at left-back or full-back positions, as well as a midfielder to bolster their squad. With Summerville’s departure costing £25m, Leeds are on the hunt for a suitable replacement.
One player on their radar is Chelsea’s young talent, Bashir Humphreys. The 21-year-old defender is expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, either on loan or a permanent deal. Leeds have reportedly made a bid for Humphreys, who has shown promise during his loan spell at Swansea last season.
Despite limited first-team experience at Chelsea, Humphreys has earned three caps for England U21s and caught the eye of national team manager Gareth Southgate. It remains to be seen how Chelsea will respond to Leeds’ bid, but it’s likely that Humphreys will be on the move soon.
With potential and talent in abundance, Humphreys is looking for the right opportunity to flourish. Whether Leeds will be that destination is uncertain, considering their current depth in defense. Nonetheless, Leeds are determined to strengthen their squad as they aim for success on the field this season.
