The recruitment team of Leeds United has demonstrated active engagement in player scouting and acquisition activities in anticipation of the forthcoming summer transfer window.
Leeds United, currently positioned within the top two of the Championship, is diligently preparing for eventualities at the conclusion of the season. Despite their strong standing, the club remains engaged in a competitive struggle for promotion to the Premier League.
Should Leeds United secure an immediate return to the Premier League, speculation suggests that the club is eyeing Borussia Monchengladbach’s left-back Luca Netz. Additionally, there have been reports indicating Leeds United’s submission of a £7 million offer for Bright Osayi-Samuel from Fenerbahce, with indications that the club is exploring the potential acquisition of one of his teammates.
Aksam sources suggest that Leeds United is poised to pursue striker Michy Batshuayi, whose contract with the Turkish side is set to expire at the end of the season. At present, it appears unlikely that Batshuayi will be offered a contract extension by his current club.
Leeds eyeing Batshuayi move
The impending availability of the 30-year-old striker on a free transfer during the upcoming summer transfer window has garnered attention. According to reports, Leeds United, if promoted to the Premier League, intend to extend an offer to secure his services.
Michy Batshuayi has showcased commendable performance throughout the current season with Fenerbahce, amassing 20 goals from 34 appearances across various competitions. His familiarity with English football is noteworthy, having previously notched 25 goals in 77 outings for Chelsea. Moreover, his tenure at clubs such as Valencia, Borussia Dortmund, and Marseille underscores his extensive experience, with a consistently solid track record.
During his tenure at Stamford Bridge, Batshuayi earned accolades for his exemplary attitude and skill, with former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard commending him as ‘top class’ during his stewardship.
Given Leeds United’s recent relegation and the subsequent rejuvenation of their squad, the acquisition of seasoned players like Batshuayi would undoubtedly bolster their campaign, particularly in the event of promotion to the Premier League.
