As the Premier League action resumes this week, Leeds United are gearing up for a busy period to maintain their position above the relegation zone. The team has had a strong start to the season, but their performance in the upcoming transfer window could be crucial.
Amid ongoing transfer rumors, MOT Leeds News has provided updates on the latest stories circulating around the club in the past 24 hours.
One of the potential targets for Leeds is Lisandru Olmeta, who has been showcasing his talent for France in the Under 20s World Cup. Leeds has reportedly reached out to Olmeta’s representatives to discuss a possible move. The young goalkeeper currently plays for Lille but is on loan at SC Bastia.
Another promising player, Harry Gray, is set for a new contract at Leeds. Despite interest from other clubs like Tottenham, Leeds manager Daniel Farke is keen on securing Gray’s future with the team. Farke hinted at positive news regarding Gray’s contract as the youngster deals with a hip injury.
While Leeds has had a solid start to the season, questions have been raised about Farke’s performance. However, former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor has defended Farke, stating that the manager should not be under pressure to be sacked despite recent winless matches.
Reflecting on Farke’s tenure, Agbonlahor commended Leeds’ competitiveness in every game this season and believes the team is showing promise. Despite challenges, including upcoming matches against Burnley, Agbonlahor feels Farke is handling the situation well and shouldn’t face any impending sack pressure.
