Leeds United have set their sights on a new target for the transfer window, with reports suggesting they are eyeing a move to sign a Premier League midfielder who is looking to depart from his current club.
Daniel Farke, manager of Leeds, is reportedly interested in bringing Union Berlin defender Danilho Doekhi to Elland Road. The 27-year-old is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, making him an attractive prospect for the Whites. While a January move has not been ruled out, a summer transfer seems more likely.
Doekhi’s style of play would complement Leeds’ 5-3-2 system, and his ability to score from set-pieces would be a welcome addition to the team. Without the need to pay a transfer fee, signing Doekhi would be a sensible move for the club.
In addition to Doekhi, Leeds have also been linked with a move for Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock. The 26-year-old reportedly wants to leave Tyneside and has caught the attention of Leeds and Crystal Palace. Willock has struggled to secure a consistent starting role at Newcastle, despite an impressive loan spell at the club.
Leeds see Willock as a potential solution to their need for attacking quality in midfield, and are prepared to make a move for the Englishman. Whether Newcastle will allow Willock to leave before the end of the season remains to be seen, but Leeds are ready to pounce if the opportunity arises.
