Leeds United Continue Transfer Blitz with Four Signings as Wilson Drops Comeback Hint and £19m Goalkeeper Talks Progress
Leeds United are making waves in the summer transfer market as they prepare for their Premier League return under Daniel Farke’s leadership. Determined to reinforce their squad, the Whites have already secured several key signings.
Striker Lukas Nmecha has joined on a free transfer from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, adding firepower to the frontline.
Defensive reinforcements have also arrived, with Jaka Bijol signing from Serie A club Udinese in a deal worth around £15 million.
Leeds have further strengthened their back line with the addition of Sebastiaan Bornauw from Wolfsburg for approximately €6 million (£5.1 million), and Swedish left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson, who arrives from Lille for £10 million.
Despite these additions, the club’s business appears far from over.
Former Newcastle striker Callum Wilson has addressed speculation linking him with a move to Elland Road, expressing his desire to continue competing in the Premier League.
“I had an amazing five years at Newcastle but football moves on so quickly,” said the 33-year-old. “I still have so much to give, but I’ve not been able to show it.”
While Wilson’s experience could benefit Leeds, LeedsLive has raised concerns over his fitness.
The outlet suggests his recent injury history makes him a risky option, and although he may be affordable, there are potentially more reliable choices available.
Meanwhile, reports from TMW indicate that Leeds are actively pursuing Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. Talks between the clubs are reportedly ongoing, with the Serbian international’s release clause set at €22 million (£19 million).
LeedsLive believes Milinkovic-Savic would be a smart addition, citing the need for a dependable shot-stopper in a newly-promoted side likely to be tested defensively.
While the fee is significant, securing a top-quality goalkeeper could prove vital in Leeds’ quest for survival in the top flight.
