Leeds United’s head coach, Daniel Farke, is determined to lead his team back to the Premier League after being relegated at the end of the previous season. Farke, who has previous experience winning the Championship title with Norwich City, fell short last season as they lost in the play-off final to Southampton.
Despite losing key players like Archie Gray and Glen Kamara, Farke has brought in new faces like Joe Rothwell and Joe Rodon to strengthen his squad. With the transfer window still open, Farke is reportedly eyeing a Championship attacking midfielder to bolster his team further.
Leeds United’s interest in Sheffield United playmaker Gustavo Hamer has been reported, with an initial offer of £13m rejected by the Blades. It remains to be seen if Leeds will return with an improved offer for the Dutch midfielder, as personal terms have already been agreed between Hamer and Leeds.
By securing a deal for Hamer, Farke could find his own version of former Leeds hero Pablo Hernandez, who brought magic to the team with his versatile midfield play. Leeds and Sheffield United are both in the promotion race this season, making the potential signing of Hamer a strategic move for Farke and his team.
