Leeds United Expected to Bid for Eduard Spertsyan Before Transfer Deadline

Leeds United is actively pursuing late transfer signings to bolster their attacking options before the Premier League deadline, with manager Daniel Farke emphasizing the need for reinforcements in the final third following a goalless draw against Newcastle United. A key target is Eduard Spertsyan, the Armenian attacking midfielder and Krasnodar captain, who has impressed with 73 goal contributions in 123 appearances and previously worked with Farke during his brief tenure at Krasnodar. Despite Russia's ban from UEFA competitions, Spertsyan's performances have caught Leeds' attention, and they are reportedly preparing a late bid to secure his transfer ahead of the 7 pm deadline. Other potential signings include Dilane Bakwa and Manor Solomon, though Bakwa is also attracting interest from Nottingham Forest and Fulham. Leeds' urgency is heightened by the collapse of a deal for Facundo Buonanotte, increasing pressure on the club and 49ers Enterprises to finalize impactful attacking acquisitions. While bringing Spertsyan to the Premier League carries risks due to the jump in competition level, Farke appears confident that the Armenian midfielder could address Leeds' offensive struggles this season.
