Leeds United may find themselves owing Sunderland a big thank you if they manage to secure a crucial deal before the transfer deadline. With just hours left to finalize their summer business, Leeds is still in pursuit of key signings to strengthen their squad.
Having been outmaneuvered by Sunderland in previous transfer dealings, Leeds now has a golden opportunity to swoop in and secure the signature of Gustavo Hamer for a potential fee of £15-£20million. The Brazilian midfielder, who had an impressive season in the Championship with Sheffield United, could be the missing piece in Leeds’ midfield.
If Leeds can seal the deal in time, it would not have been possible without Sunderland’s victory over Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final. This unexpected turn of events could now work in Leeds’ favor as they look to rebuild their squad for the upcoming season.
With the underwhelming performances of Brenden Aaronson in mind, Hamer could prove to be a game-changer for Leeds. The versatile midfielder has consistently impressed in the Championship and is ready to make his mark in the Premier League.
Despite already spending a considerable amount this summer, Leeds may need to dig deep once more to secure Hamer’s services. But if they can pull it off, it could be a decision that pays off handsomely for the club in the long run.
