GOOD NEWS: Leeds United finally Plan to sign Outstanding Trio to cover up Summerville departure as Daniel Farke reveal players are highly needed in his next season project.
According to a report by Nancy Froston on August 5, Leeds United are planning to bring in three new players following Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham United. The club aims to add a winger, a full-back, and a midfielder to their squad. Summerville’s transfer was reportedly triggered by a clause in his contract that had been active since last summer, with the fee described as “in excess of £25million plus add-ons.”
Manager Daniel Farke believes these additions will provide the necessary depth to compete for promotion back to the Premier League. Norwich City’s Jonathan Rowe has emerged as a potential target to replace Summerville.
The departure of Summerville has been disappointing for Leeds fans, especially considering the lower-than-expected transfer fee. This follows the recent sale of young talent Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur.
The situation is reminiscent of last summer’s exodus, where multiple players left due to release clauses in their contracts. Farke now faces the challenge of quickly rebuilding the squad to replace Summerville’s output, as well as finding a midfielder to fill the void left by Glen Kamara’s move to Rennes.
The full-back position remains an area of focus for Leeds, despite the recent signing of Jayden Bogle. The club’s failure to gain promotion last season highlighted the need for reinforcements, but currently, they are struggling to maintain squad strength rather than improve it.
While it’s unlikely that two other teams will achieve 100-plus points again this season, Farke and his staff are keen to ensure they don’t fall short in their promotion bid.
