Daniel Farke, the manager of Leeds United, expressed his desire to bring in a player earning £40,000-a-week following the signing of Joe Rodon, as reported by a journalist.
The transfer window has been eventful for Elland Road, as they sold academy talent Archie Gray to Tottenham for £40m while securing the permanent signing of Joe Rodon for £10m. These deals will help Leeds meet the PSR rules for the previous financial year and potentially retain key players like Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto.
Despite Oliver Skipp not being part of the Gray deal, Farke is reportedly interested in bringing the midfielder to Leeds. Alasdair Gold, a reliable Spurs reporter, mentioned that Farke would love to reunite with Skipp, who had a successful season under him at Norwich City.
According to Gold, Leeds could explore a loan or permanent deal for Skipp on his £40,000-a-week wages. The appeal of working with Farke again could attract the young midfielder, although competition from other Premier League clubs is expected if Tottenham decide to let him go.
As the transfer window progresses, the situation with Skipp remains uncertain due to his status as a senior homegrown player at Tottenham. Nonetheless, it’s a development worth monitoring given Leeds’ interest and potential competition from other clubs.
