The most recent information and rumours regarding transfers pertaining to Leeds United as they get ready for a major matchup with Leicester City.
Leeds United is getting closer to their biggest match of the year, which will be a trip to the East Midlands to play Leicester City, the league leaders. The Foxes are well on their way to rejoining the Premier League, having played nearly flawlessly thus far.
The Whites, who have had a strong start of their own, are hoping to follow suit. However, they are still nine points behind the top two and will need to catch up quickly. We have compiled all of the most recent Elland Road news and transfer rumours in the interim.
Summerville latest
Regarding interest in standout Leeds star Crysencio Summerville, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update. “Last summer, I brought up Everton, Bournemouth, and Burnley as teams interested in Summerville, but he chose to remain at Leeds. It might change in January; I’m not aware of any developments as of yet,” he said to CaughtOffside.
“However, given how many clubs are pursuing him, this could change in the coming weeks. At this point, I can’t comment on any specific names.”
Harrison insists
Leeds is expected to demand a hefty sum for Jack Harrison, the star player on loan. Harrison is currently with Everton on loan, and the Toffees have been playing better lately.
A permanent move seems less likely now that the winger has signed a new contract with Leeds before leaving on loan as a result of relegation. Leeds can now demand more for their asset under the new contract, and should they be promoted, they may very well want it back. The Whites will demand £30 million from Everton, according to TeamTalk, if they want to sign Harrison long-term. That won’t be simple for the Toffees, who have recently struggled with Financial Fair Play issues. However, a takeover of the Merseyside club is currently underway.
