SMART MOVE: Leeds United in brutal chase of 22yr Old wide player who enjoyed a productive year in the Eredivisie as Daniel Farke make pre- Summerville Transfer shocker following recent interest from numerous Clubs.
Despite failing to secure promotion to the Premier League, Leeds United have been linked with a host of players in recent weeks. While the club will need to navigate the transfer market cautiously to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, they appear to be actively pursuing reinforcements to bolster Daniel Farke’s squad.
In the latest development, Leeds United have joined the race to sign Excelsior Rotterdam’s exciting winger, Couhaib Driouech, who boasts impressive dribbling statistics across Europe. According to reports, the 22-year-old enjoyed a productive season in the Eredivisie, scoring six goals and providing six assists.
Driouech’s performances extended to the Keuken Kampioen Play-Offs, where he contributed two goals and two assists, although his side ultimately suffered relegation to the second tier. With his contract set to expire next year, the Dutch winger is likely seeking a move, and Leeds could present an ideal destination as they aim to secure a Premier League return.
Excelsior Rotterdam is reportedly demanding a transfer fee of around £3.3 million for Driouech’s signature. However, Leeds United face stiff competition from several interested parties, including LaLiga giants Sevilla and reigning Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven, who are among the ten clubs reportedly tracking the winger ahead of the transfer window.
Interestingly, Victor Orta, the former sporting director at Leeds United, now holds the same position at Sevilla, raising the possibility that his interest in Driouech dates back to his time at Elland Road.
