Leeds United are reportedly considering a move for Japan international striker, Ayase Ueda, in the upcoming transfer window. With Ueda having scored an impressive 19 goals in 22 appearances this season, European football expert Andy Brassell believes he could be a good fit for Leeds and sees the potential for a move next year. However, it is noted that Feyenoord, Ueda’s current club, is under no immediate pressure to sell him in the January window, and any potential move may be more likely in the summer.
While Leeds may explore options in the loan market first, sources suggest that Ueda could be a target in the future, especially if the club secures their Premier League status. The presence of Ueda’s Japan international teammate, Ao Tanaka, at Leeds could also potentially influence the player’s decision.
In addition to Ueda, Leeds United is reported to be monitoring the situation of Tyrique George, who has expressed a desire to leave Chelsea. However, it is unclear if Leeds will be able to secure his services, as Chelsea may have other plans for the teenager.
Additionally, Leeds’ interest in Como playmaker Martin Baturina and a Fulham star seems to have hit obstacles, while they are also credited with an interest in a 6ft 5in Canadian striker who has impressed in the Champions League, although West Ham is reportedly leading the race for his signature.
As the January transfer window approaches, Leeds United is actively assessing potential targets to strengthen their squad and bolster their chances of Premier League survival. The club’s pursuit of talented players from various leagues demonstrates their ambition to compete at the highest level and build a competitive team capable of achieving success in the future.
