Leeds United Eyes Habib Diarra as Midfield Target
Leeds United is reportedly interested in signing Strasbourg captain Habib Diarra, with Daniel Farke keen on strengthening his midfield options. Although rumors suggest a £25 million bid has been made, sources close to the situation deny this, indicating that no new offer has been submitted.
Competition for Diarra’s Signature
Diarra’s agents are pushing for a Premier League move, and the 21-year-old is attracting interest from several top clubs, including Atletico Madrid. Strasbourg’s president has indicated that Diarra can leave if the right offer arrives, but rival clubs may tempt him with higher wages and European competition.
Diarra’s Credentials
The midfielder’s box-to-box abilities, highlighted by his four goals and five assists in Ligue 1, make him an attractive prospect. His recent goal for Senegal against England further showcases his talent. Leeds United must act quickly to secure Diarra’s signature, as the competition for his services is fierce.
Leeds’ Challenge
To convince Diarra and his entourage that Elland Road is the right platform for his Premier League aspirations, Leeds United needs to open talks and potentially make a bid. The challenge lies in competing with clubs offering European football and higher wages, making it essential for Leeds to move swiftly and make a strong case for the midfielder.
