Leeds United are facing potential challenges in securing Sheffield United midfielder Gus Hamer during the summer transfer window, despite their return to the Premier League after a two-year absence.
Hamer, who missed out on promotion with the Blades last season, has emerged as a target for Elland Road. However, negotiations between the two clubs have hit a roadblock, with the 28-year-old expressing a preference for a Premier League move but not actively seeking an exit from Sheffield United.
While Leeds have already added Sean Longstaff and Anton Stach to their squad, the pursuit of Hamer has hit a snag. The Dutch midfielder is also being courted by PSV Eindhoven, further complicating matters for Leeds.
With Longstaff impressing in his Leeds debut and Stach providing valuable experience, Manager Daniel Farke may look to prioritize bolstering the team’s attack instead of pursuing the elusive transfer of Hamer. The focus now should be on providing support to striker Joel Piroe, as the Whites aim to strengthen their forward line before the end of the transfer window.
