Leeds United Pursues Multiple Premier League and European Targets

Leeds United are actively pursuing reinforcements as they prepare for the Premier League season, focusing on adding experienced players and addressing squad depth, particularly at full-back and in attack. The club has been offered the chance to sign Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lyon, a versatile former England international eager to return to English football, which could help cover both full-back positions amid departures and injury concerns. Leeds are also targeting Leicester City stars Bilal El Khannouss and James Justin, aiming to boost creativity and defensive options respectively, with the Whites reportedly in a strong position to trigger El Khannouss’s release clause. In attack, Leeds are interested in Roma striker Artem Dovbyk as a potential upgrade amid expected departures like Patrick Bamford, although the player prefers a move to Spain and Roma would seek a replacement, possibly Nikola Krstović. Despite initial high wage demands, Leeds have dropped pursuit of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and continue to seek alternatives such as Galatasaray's Gabriel Sara to strengthen their squad. Manager Daniel Farke remains cautious about making drastic moves but is eager to add Premier League experience to enhance Leeds United’s survival chances.
