Leeds United have been left disappointed this summer as they have missed out on several transfer targets, while watching their Premier League rivals Sunderland make big signings. The latest addition to the Black Cats’ squad is Simon Adingra, who joined from Brighton. Despite Leeds being active in the transfer market themselves, fans are eagerly awaiting more deals in the coming weeks.
One potential target for Leeds is Lyon goalkeeper Lucas Perri, who is reportedly their top choice to strengthen the goalkeeping position. With a price tag of around £12.9 million, Perri is seen as the ideal replacement for Illan Meslier. Meanwhile, negotiations are ongoing between Napoli and Torino for Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
Sunderland continues to pose a threat to Leeds’ transfer plans, having signed Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki, who were previously linked with Leeds. Now, both teams are eyeing a move for Jeremie Boga, with Trabzonspor also in the mix with a bid of £7 million to £7.75 million.
LeedsLive noted that Sunderland’s transfer activity may cause envy at Leeds, especially with the recent signings of Adingra, Diarra, and Sadiki. While Boga may not require as much investment as the others, his versatility could be a valuable asset for Leeds. With Trabzonspor lacking European competition, a move to the Premier League may be more appealing for the former Chelsea player.
