Leeds United Seeks Multiple Attackers After Buonanotte Transfer Collapse

Leeds United's pursuit of Facundo Buonanotte was thwarted by Chelsea's late move, forcing the club to explore alternative playmakers before the transfer window closes. Targets now include Emiliano Buendia from Aston Villa, who has become available due to the club's financial considerations, and Bilal El Khannouss from Leicester City, with Leeds reportedly reopening talks for the young midfielder after Crystal Palace withdrew their interest. Gustavo Hamer, the Championship Player of the Season with Sheffield United, is also a consideration as Leeds seek to bolster their creative attacking options. Meanwhile, Leeds have been actively managing their squad by offloading players such as Patrick Bamford, Isaac Schmidt, and Largie Ramazani to streamline the team under manager Daniel Farke. Despite the setbacks, Leeds remain determined to strengthen their attack, with Farke emphasizing the club's focus on adding one or two more attacking players to avoid relegation. The transfer deadline pressure has intensified, with multiple clubs vying for Leeds players like Darko Gyabi, highlighting the chaotic final days of squad reshaping at Elland Road.
