Leeds United advances transfer talks for Eduard Spertsyan

Leeds United has made a significant move in the January transfer window by signing 17-year-old Australian goalkeeper Robbie Cook, who will join the club on a two-and-a-half year deal after fending off interest from other clubs. Despite not finalizing any other major signings, Leeds is actively monitoring potential targets for future windows, including Middlesbrough's Emmanuel Latte Lath and Nottingham Forest's Andrew Omobamidele. Leeds is also accelerating talks to sign Armenia captain Eduard Spertsyan, a versatile attacking midfielder, as they aim to strengthen their squad for a push towards Premier League promotion. The club is reportedly planning another attempt to secure midfielder Dario Essugo from Sporting Lisbon and faces competition from Tottenham for defender Ben Godfrey. Manager Daniel Farke has indicated the need for reinforcements, particularly in the playmaker position, as they continue their strong performance in the Championship. With Leeds leading the table, the focus remains on solidifying their squad for a potential return to the top flight next season.
