Leeds United is currently in a fantastic form under the management of Daniel Farke and are demonstrating their potential to return to the Premier League. With an impressive run of eight consecutive wins and an exceptional defensive record, the team is soaring high in the Championship. Their resounding 4-0 victory over Swansea City and a subsequent 2-0 win this weekend has placed them back in the automatic promotion places, creating a two-point lead over their closest rivals.
Individual standouts, such as Crysencio Summerville and Joel Piroe, have played a crucial role in their success. Summerville, with his fifteen goals this season, is attracting attention from numerous clubs, including those in the Premier League, making him a key target for a new contract. Additionally, Dan James and Georginio Rutter have also contributed significantly to the team’s scoring tally.
The 49ers Group, the owners of Leeds United, has recognized the outstanding performances of their players and is making plans to secure the future of their stars by offering them new deals. It was reported by Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke that the club is ready to open negotiations with several key players, including Patrick Bamford, Illan Meslier, Crysencio Summerville, and Dan James, all of whom are out of contract in June 2026.
Furthermore, the 49ers Group is also evaluating the possibility of securing a permanent deal for Joe Rodon, who has been on loan from Spurs. His consistent performances have made him a key player in their defense, and the club is looking to negotiate a deal to keep him at Elland Road indefinitely, with a transfer fee expected to be in the region of £10-15 million.
The club is also contemplating offering a fresh deal to manager Daniel Farke for his instrumental role in leading the team to success this season. With an outstanding win percentage of 63% and an average of two points per game under his management, Farke has been a driving force in their promotion bid. Regardless of which league they find themselves in next season, Leeds United is making provisions to ensure their most crucial assets remain a part of the fold.
